The Story of Bodri
by Hédi Fried (Author), Stina Wirsén (Illustrator) and Linda Schenck (Translator)
@ Amazon | Bookshop | IndieBound

Booktalk: Hédi spends her days playing with her dog Bodri in the park, but her quiet world starts to crumble the day she hears Adolf Hitler on the radio. Germany’s leader hates her and her family, just because they are Jewish. And Hitler doesn’t even know them–it doesn’t make any sense. Soon Nazi Germany invades Hédi’s country, and her life changes forever.

Snippet: Bodri was my best friend. His coat was soft and brown.

My little sister thought Bodri belonged to her. Mother said he belonged to all of us.

But Bodri and I knew that most of all, he was mine.
