Fedele's illustrations in mostly dark hues will appeal to sports fans with their action-oriented scenes. Young readers of World War II stories will gain an understanding from the somber wartime pages. What makes one person step into danger to help others? A question worthy of discussion, with this title as an admirable springboard.-- Kirkus Reviews His acts of heroism, modestly hidden away, now shine beside his athletic achievements.-- Pragmatic Mom Hoffman's clear writing and Fedele's lush illustrations make the heavy subject matter of the Holocaust comprehensible to younger readers. The story of how an ordinary boy became an extraordinary athlete is enough to pull in those reluctant to read about the Holocaust. The book shows that anyone can use their unique skills to be a hero. . . .Hoffman offers an accessible biography about a little-known athlete and Holocaust hero; a much-needed addition to historical collections.-- School Library Journal If you're looking for a way to explain the Holocaust to middle schoolers, check out this story of Gino Bartali, an Italian cyclist and Tour de France champion...-- Columbus Jewish News, Best Bets for Bibliophiles The powerful narrative is greatly enhanced by Italian artist, Chiara Fedele's expressive illustrations. . . .This inspiring story of courage shows that one person really can make a difference. Bartali's legend lives on in Italy.-- Nonfiction Detectives This book is highly recommended for children as well as for caregivers and educators looking for an unusual approach to heroism during the Holocaust.-- Jewish Book Council This fast-paced picture book starts in Florence with a weak, young, poor boy named Gino Bartali riding a rusty, second-hand bicycle. . . .The illustrations are modern, mobile and sophisticated, strengthening the message of the text through the expressive faces. The palette is subdued, underlining the woes of war. This courageous hero is recognized at Yad Vashem, and on bike paths named in his honor around Jerusalem.-- Association of Jewish Libraries, News & Reviews
