<p>Once a skinny and weak child, Gino Bartali rose to become a Tour de France champion and one of cycling's greatest stars. But all that seemed unimportant when his country came under the grip of a brutal dictator and entered World War II on the side of Nazi Germany. Bartali might have appeared a mere bystander to the harassment and hatred directed toward Italy’s Jewish people, but secretly he accepted a role in a dangerous plan to help them. Putting his own life at risk, Bartali used his speed and endurance on a bike to deliver documents Jewish people needed to escape harm. His inspiring story reveals how one person could make a difference against violence and prejudice during the time of the Holocaust.</p>

<p>Night and day, land and sea, birds and animals . . . it’s amazing what these hands can make! Through handprints, finger paints, and child-friendly language, this book retells the ancient story of Creation while encouraging young readers to celebrate their own capacity to imagine and create.\n“This brief but eloquent book for young children traces the link between the creation of the world and a child’s feelings about her own artistic productivity. The reader follows two small handprints dipped in paint as they bring new forms of life into being, just as God did in the book of Genesis….The simplicity of the book is appealing, and it offers a different entry point for children’s understanding of how the world came to be….Even the youngest reader can become involved in the act of creating a world.” – Emily Schneider for the Jewish Book Council, July 19, 2022</p>
