Yet during that perilous time, many Jews found refuge in an unlikely place--the sprawling complex of the Grand Mosque of Paris. Not just a place of worship but a community center, this hive of activity was an ideal temporary hiding place for escaped prisoners of war and Jews of all ages, especially children. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBeautifully illustrated and thoroughly researched (both authors speak French and conducted first-person interviews and research at archives and libraries), this hopeful, non-fiction book introduces children to a little-known part of history.

Booklist praised her art in Know What I Saw by Aileen Fisher saying, \"De Saix steals the show, though, with lush, photorealistic scenes that are both large enough to sweeten the subtraction lesson built into the 10-to-1 countdown premise.\" She now lives in Asheville, North Carolina\u003c\/p\u003e\n                                \n                            \n                            \u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Best Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":45313241514145,"sku":"BBSNIJ9780823423040","price":11.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0525\/2084\/5473\/files\/9780823423040.jpg?v=1762269489","url":"https:\/\/www.bestbookstore.ca\/products\/the-grand-mosque-of-paris-paperback-by-written-illustrated-by-karen-gray-ruelle-and-deborah-durland-desaix","provider":"Best Book Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
