Clara's Great War, written by Evelyn Rothstein and Illustrated by Elizabeth Uhlig, is a heartwarming children's chapter book with great historical significance. In 1914 Clara was just eleven years old when her home in Kobrin (on the border of Poland and Russia) was occupied by German soldiers. Her story, as written by author Evelyn Rothstein (Clara's daughter) nearly 100 years later, is written in first person narrative from Clara's perspective on how WWI affected her and her family first-hand. Her story is both insightful and educational. Children can glean a message of hope and perseverance as they learn how Clara and her family found the courage to survive in the midst of enemies who took up residence within their home. Clara's Great War is part of a series written about the author's parents, Clara and Dave.
Clara's Great War earns the Literary Classics Seal of Approval, a designation reserved for those books which uphold the rigorous criteria set forth by the Children's Literary Classics review committee, a team comprised of individuals with backgrounds in publishing, editing, writing, illustration and graphic design.
