{"product_id":"irena-book-one-wartime-ghetto","title":"Irena Book One: Wartime Ghetto","description":"\u003cb\u003eIrena Book One: Wartime Ghetto\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLearn how Irena Sendlerowa, a young, non-Jewish humanitarian worker, joined the resistance and saved over 2,500 children from the Nazi-occupied Warsaw ghetto. This disease-ridden ghetto was a place of poverty and stark desperation. Irena: Wartime Ghetto exposes the horrors of the situation and the desperate measures, including alcohol, that were used by Irena to keep the children silent during the escapes. Carefully researched, this graphic novel’s artwork has an innocence that is in stark contrast to this very dark subject matter. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIs a clear and well-informed understanding of the horrors of the Holocaust prevention against having it happen again? Researchers believe so, and thus we offer Irena: Wartime Ghetto with the hope that teens will become a vigilant resistance to any attempt of genocide in our world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Note to parents: although there are some language and mature topics briefly mentioned, it is the widespread evil revealed that makes this title best for older readers. A teen who is mature enough to read through the profound atrocities of the time is unlikely to be shocked by any of the language or specific content.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv align=\"center\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout Graphic Novels:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Experienced parents know that the amount of reading their child does will have a direct and positive impact on his reading fluency and vocabulary development. That is why graphic novels - which we used to refer to as comic books - though once relegated to the category of lowbrow reading, are now experiencing a surge in popularity. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e You may think that the comic book medium is primarily for mainstream American children who are peppered by snack-size visual and audio bombardment. If you desire that your children slow down and feast on the written word, then you may cringe at the idea of a graphic novel version of Moby Dick. But before you issue a home-wide ban on these books, consider the following. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e If you have a reluctant or beginning reader, your first concern should be for fluidity and competency. You will find that the graphic novel's illustrations draw your child in even as the vocabulary becomes more complex. Then, because the graphics are so attention-grabbing, children often find themselves reading for pleasure. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e If your reluctant reader is an older child, your main concern may be making sure that he is culturally savvy. With graphic novels, vocabulary is introduced via contextual clues, making great literature accessible to more children. The interesting pictures and snappy dialogue, with little-to-no narration to bog the reader down, will encourage independent reading and learning. As the child's competence and confidence grow, so will his joy of literacy. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Even if your older child is a competent reader, he will enjoy taking a break from the verbally intense books characteristic of higher-level learning to enjoy a more visual form of storytelling. A 2006 study found that the amount of reading children did for fun decreased from the time they were eight through the teen years. Graphic books can re-engage them in the delights of reading for leisure as well as for learning. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e There are children who may never read for pleasure; God just might have wired them differently. But most children, from the reluctant, faltering reader to the brilliant but easily bored adolescent, will find graphic novels intriguing. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"product-single__features-title\"\u003eFeatures\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/L0heaVwEW1A\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.lionforge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Irena-SamplePage1.jpg\" target=\"new\"\u003ePreview Sample Page 1\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.lionforge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Irena-SamplePage2.jpg\" target='new\"'\u003e Preview Sample Page 2\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.lionforge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Irena-SamplePage3.jpg\" target=\"new\"\u003ePreview Sample Page 3\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.lionforge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Irena-SamplePage4.jpg\" target=\"new\"\u003ePreview Sample Page 4\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBinding\u003c\/i\u003e: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003ePages\u003c\/i\u003e: 136\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003ePublisher\u003c\/i\u003e: The Lion Forge LLC., Magnetic Collection\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eAuthors:\u003c\/i\u003e Jean-David Morvan \u0026amp; Séverine Tréfouël\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eIllustrated By:\u003c\/i\u003e David Evrard\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eColored By:\u003c\/i\u003e Walter\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eTranslation By:\u003c\/i\u003e Dan Christensen\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eSize:\u003c\/i\u003e 8.5 x 11 inches\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eISBN:\u003c\/i\u003e 9781549306792\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eCopyright\u003c\/i\u003e: 2009\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eFaith-Based\u003c\/i\u003e: No","brand":"Lion Forge, LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":35289752764580,"sku":"271-105","price":18.99,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Free Offer Item","offer_id":35289752797348,"sku":"271-105","price":0.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0436\/9045\/9300\/products\/Irena_850x850_4708e752-b46e-47a4-bb45-b5c13f39e361.jpg?v=1595330726","url":"https:\/\/timberdoodleshort-com.myshopify.com\/products\/irena-book-one-wartime-ghetto","provider":"timberdoodleshort.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
