Excerpt from THIS NY Times Review:
ROSE BLANCHE By Christophe Gallaz and Roberto Innocenti. Illustrated by Roberto Innocenti. Translated by Martha Coventry and Richard Graglia. Illustrated. Unpaged. Mankato, Minn.: Creative Education. $14.95. (Ages 8 and up) IT is our duty to tell children some terrible truths. If the telling causes horror and sorrow, these are appropriate emotions for certain recent historical events, and it is necessary for the young to suffer this painful learning if the future is not to repeat the worst mistakes of the past. But we must be careful to do the telling right.
