In 1939, twenty-nine-year-old Nicholas Winton saved the lives of almost 700 children trapped in Nazi-occupied Czechoslovakia? a story that remained unknown until an unforgettable TV appearance in the 1980s reunited him with the children he saved. Czech-American artist, MacArthur Fellow, and Andersen Award winner Peter S? ? s tells Winton' s story in this distinctive and deeply personal picture book. He intertwines Nicky' s efforts with the story of one of the children he saved? a young girl named Vera, whose family enlisted Nicky' s aid after the Germans invaded their village. As the war passes and Vera grows up, she must find balance in her dual identities? one her birthright, the other her choice. Nicky & Vera is a masterful tribute to one man' s courageous efforts to protect Europe' s most vulnerable, and a timely portrayal of the hopes and fears of those forced to leave their homes and create new lives. ?
Peter Sis is the Czech-born author/illustrator of three Caldecott Honor books, including The Wall, which also won the Sibert Medal. He is the first children' s book illustrator to win the MacArthur Fellowship, and also won the Hans Christian Andersen Award. He lives in Irvington, New York.
