This autobiography relates the efforts of Jella Lepman who, after fleeing Hitler's Nazi Germany, returned to build a Bridge of Children's Books for the survivors of World War II. She worked with international authors, illustrators, publishers, diplomats and world leaders to provide books-and hope-for German children.
