Beautiful perspectives
Reviewed: 01-02-25
Amazing work breaking down this world-changing event into two diverse and poignant perspectives. As with other Gratz books I have had the pleasure of reading, this is no exception, and brought me back to my own memories of that day. I love that this is available for my own children and students to read, and maybe relate to the day in a different way since they were not alive to experience it for themselves.
