-- Publishers Weekly

The Doll Maker`s Gift is a children`s picturebook retelling the true story of how one man`s courage and insight saved a little girl`s life. When horrible pogroms in Eastern Europe forced little Nora`s family to escape to America, they discovered that they didn`t have enough money to buy passage for everyone - one member would have to stay behind. Six-year-old Nora was sent to live with a kindly dollmaker, who was a friend of the family, yet her parents and siblings feared for her safety. At the last instant, the dollmaker had an idea that could reunite Nora with her family - but only if she could be a good girl and stay very still for several hours. The soft, color illustrations add a realistic visual touch to this dramatic story of survival and human goodness.
