What is Anne Frank: the girl heard around the world about?
Anne Frank was an ordinary young girl who loved books, friendship and writing. When the Nazis occupied the Netherlands during the Second World War, Anne and her family were forced into hiding in a secret annex. There, she recorded her thoughts, hopes and fears in a diary. Although Anne’s life was tragically cut short, her words survived and reached millions of people around the world. This sensitive picture-book biography introduces Anne’s life, her courage and the lasting power of her voice.
