COURAGE TO DREAM: TALES OF HOPE IN THE HOLOCAUST
This gripping, multifaceted tapestry is woven from Jewish folklore and cultural history. Five interlocking narratives explore one common story - the tradition of resistance and uplift. Neal Shusterman and Andrés Vera Martínez are internationally renowned creators who have collaborated on a masterwork that encourages the compassionate, bold reaching for a dream.
“Martínez offers clean-lined period scenes of ordinary-looking heroes enduring fear and hardship, and “fighting for justice on every page.” Resonating with an earlier acknowledgment that Roma and other minorities also suffered Nazi persecution, Martínez finds common personal ground in his own Tejano family’s experiences with white supremacists.”

"Bursts with fierce energy, and foregrounds the characters’ agency in overcoming an apparent hopeless situation, visual drama and effective tension-building, portrayed in a comics style reminiscent of the 1950s, teeming with fantastical elements."
