Anne Frank: The Anne Frank House Authorized Graphic… by Sid Jacobson

This book is an amazing way to tell this story. I would say this would be good for younger kids, maybe middle school and older.

Anne Frank: The Anne Frank House Authorized Graphic… by Sid Jacobson

This graphic biography of Anne Frank is great for intermediate and middle school kids, even high school. It's a powerful way to learn about her life and the Holocaust. I really loved it and think it's an important book to read. Powerful story of what happened in history

Anne Frank: The Anne Frank House Authorized Graphic… by Sid Jacobson

This book would be good for intermediate and middle grades, it would be a good example to teach about graphic novels and to start a unit about WWII. The book starts with giving background on Anne's parents, the moves more into Anne's life. Eventually it follows the story of her diary.
