June, 1942: I hope I will be able to confide everything to you, as
I have never been able to confide in anyone, and I hope you will be
a great source of comfort and support.' In the summer of 1942,
fleeing the horrors of the Nazi occupation, Anne Frank and her
family were forced into hiding in the back of an Amsterdam

feelings, movingly revealing how the eight people living under
these extraordinary conditions coped with the daily threat of
discovery and death. Adapted by Ari Folman, illustrated by David
Polonsky, and authorized by the Anne Frank Foundation in Basel,
this is the first graphic edition of the beloved diary of Anne
Frank. 'Faithful to the spirit and often the language of the
diary... Mr Polonsky's beautiful artwork offers a charming and
convincing view of Anne on the page' THE ECONOMIST 'Folman and
Polonsky have reclaimed Anne Frank in all of her humanity, and they
allow us to witness for ourselves her beauty, courage, vision and
imagination. And, in doing so, they have elevated the tools of the
comic book to create an astonishing work of art.' JEWISH JOURNAL

compassion, wit and ebullience' StANDPOINT

As I travel around the United States and Canada as a safety
consultant and motivational speaker for schools, colleges,
universities, and private industry, I am amazed at the information
found on cooking located in bookstores and restaurants. Why write a
book about popcorn? Because I love popcorn, but more importantly,
like a student in a classroom, I had a need to learn more about one
of my favorite snacks. This book does more than just explain how to
pop corn. This book can be used by teachers as a history lesson and
be used in home economics, science classes, math classes,
agricultural classrooms, etc. Hopefully, this book will be used as
another fun tool to educate children. Everyone loves popcorn It is
my hope that you enjoy this book.
