1933. Nine-year-old Anna lives the ordinary life of a Berlin schoolgirl, writing poems and playing with her friends—until everything changes in an instant. Fearing Nazi persecution, her family flees Berlin in a hurry. Switzerland, France, and finally England—the journey lasts more than two years, during which the girl becomes acquainted with the cultures of other countries, learns French, and understands what it means to be a refugee. All the while, she is haunted by the memory of the pink plush rabbit she left behind in her Berlin home. This book is based on real events: Judith Kerr’s family also fled Germany when Hitler came to power.
