All her life, Anne Frank wanted to be heard.
Really, truly heard.

Linda Elovitz Marshall introduces readers to the story of Anne Frank in this powerful book about family, war, and the importance of finding your voice.

During her two years in hiding from the Nazis, Anne Frank poured her soul into a red plaid diary named Kitty. She wrote honestly of the reality of Nazi occupation, of daily life in the annex, and of her longing to be heard. More than anything, Anne spoke the truth, and her words have echoed throughout history.

Gorgeous prose and striking art deliver Anne's ever-relevant story with poignancy and grace, while robust back matter -- including biographical information, an author's note, and a timeline -- makes this the perfect book for history curriculums.

My nine-year-old asked so many questions after we read this together, and the way it frames Anne’s wish to be heard made the history feel personal without being overwhelming. The writing is gentle yet honest, perfect for opening a conversation about war and courage.

Jacob ★★★★★

Reading this with my daughter at bedtime, we both got chills from the way it weaves the harsh reality of war with Anne’s relentless spirit. It’s rare to find a picture book that handles such heavy history so accessibly for young kids, and the focus on her desire to be truly heard makes it unforgetta

The way this book frames Anne's drive to be "really, truly heard" hits hard, and it made the story feel personal for my 9-year-old without glossing over the weight of it. Marshall’s prose is simple but powerful, and it sparked a long conversation about war and family that I didn’t expect. Definitely
