### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful Story/Great for Teachers
*by M***Y on June 5, 2021*

I'm a teacher. This was my first year in elementary, firth grade. Prior to this, I taught middle and high school English. Having to switch gears in the content and delivery I'd been using to teach The Holocaust was a bit challenging...how to find that delicate balance of the truth, but keeping in mind that these are 10 and 11 year old children. I purchased this book to be included in my Holocaust unit. We first read the poem "The Butterfly" by Pavel Friedman and analyzed for meaning, theme, and symbolism. We did the same after reading this book and compared the two pieces in a writing task. The kids loved it. Upon finding out that it is a true story, they loved it even more. I would recommend this to anyone. I would absolutely recommend it for teaching a Holocaust unit, anywhere from about 4th/5th grade all the way through 12th.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Inspiring
*by M***G on December 17, 2024*

Extremely inspiring book about bravery and kindness during the holocaust. The book is written in a way that is possible to teach your students many comprehension strategies. I am using it with fourth grade remedial reading; it generates many meaningful conversations and expands their vocabulary.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exceptional, moving and sensitive
*by M***A on December 21, 2008*

Patricia Polacco is, by far, one of the very best author-illustrators I have read. The Butterfly is the perfect balance in portraying the horrors of hatred, yet not becoming overwhelming to our young readers.I use quality literature with my students to teach the basics of language and social issues. Whenever I read this book with my students, they are riveted from the very beginning. The discussions resulting from the story are always insightful, inspiring deep questions from the children and considerable thought.The illustrations, as always with Patricia Polacco, elevate the emotional impact of the events of the story.The fact that this story is of Patricia Polacco's aunt and great-aunt and a true story is meaningful to my students.
