THE MISSING - MICHAEL ROSEN TASCHENBUCH

A personal  powerful and resonant account of the Holocaust by one of this country's best-loved
children¿s authors. By turns charming  shocking and heart-breaking  this is the true story of
Michael Rosen¿s search for his relatives who ¿went missing¿ during the Second World War ¿ told
through prose  poetry  maps and pictures. When Michael was growing up  stories often hung in
the air about his great-uncles: one was a clock-mender and the other a dentist. They were there
before the war  his dad would say  and weren¿t after. Over many years  Michael tried to find
out exactly what happened: he interviewed family members  scoured the internet  pored over
books and traveled to America and France. The story he uncovered was one of terrible
persecution ¿ and it has inspired his poetry for years since. Here  poems old and new are
balanced against an immensely readable narrative  both an extraordinary account and a powerful
tool for talking to children about the Holocaust.
