The Butterfly By Patrica Polacco


Summary: 

Based in France during the Holocaust, this book is a girl’s unique friendship during the Holocaust.  The struggles she faces and the happiness that can still happen during such a time period from a child’s point of view.

 

Rating:

This book is for older student’s fourth – sixth grade.  It would be a great way to integrate literature into a social studies lesson on the Holocaust.  It gives a realistic account of the time period and a realistic view of the happenings during WWII.

 

Curriculum Connections:

·        The sixth grade standard I would use for this would be CCSS  6.RST.IKI.8 AND 6.RST.IKI.9
