520    "Caldecott Honoree and Sibert Medalist Peter Sís honors a 
       man who saved hundreds of children from the Nazis. In 1938,
       twenty-nine-year-old Nicholas Winton saved the lives of 
       almost 700 children trapped in Nazi-occupied 
       Czechoslovakia-a story he never told and that remained 
       unknown until an unforgettable TV appearance in the 1980s 
       reunited him with some of the children he saved. Czech-
       American artist, MacArthur Fellow, and Andersen Award 
       winner Peter Sís dramatizes Winton's story in this 
       distinctive and deeply personal picture book. He 
       intertwines Nicky's efforts with the story of one of the 
       children he saved-a young girl named Vera, whose family 
       enlisted Nicky's aid when the Germans occupied their 
       country. As the war passes and Vera grows up, she must 
       find balance in her dual identities-one her birthright, 
       the other her choice. Nicky & Vera is a masterful tribute 
       to a humble man's courageous efforts to protect Europe's 
       most vulnerable, and a timely portrayal of the hopes and 
       fears of those forced to leave their homes and create new 
       lives"--|cProvided by publisher.
