The Burning of the Books
From the Series S26 Creative Editions Picture Books
What happens when a government decides which books are "too dangerous" for its people to read? When it polices not only the creative output of its citizens but also their very thoughts? As author Jonah Winter describes the Nazi book burnings of the 1930s, Gary Kelley's atmospheric paintings communicate a sense of ominous foreboding that lingers past the closing lines:
And what happened in Germany
could happen anywhere.
It could even happen in America.
