From the freezing wilderness confines of a labor camp all the way north near the White Sea to hunger-filled years of displacement all the way south in the city of Turkestan, Uri recounts the lucky breaks and setbacks that happened to him and his parents along the way.\n\nPowerfully illustrated by the author and with a few surviving personal photographs and mementos, Chance: Escape from the Holocaust also depicts young Uri’s awakening as an artist, whose love of making pictures helped sustain him. Altogether, this is a unique, enthralling memoir of a displaced childhood from the beloved Caldecott medalist, the capstone to a remarkable career.\n\nDon’t miss Uri Shulevitz’s stunning final published work, The Sky Was My Blanket: A Young Man’s Journey Across Wartime Europe, a gripping true story of a young Polish exile fighting to survive in war-torn Europe.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0374313717\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: 4EKTGN0030ID_ns\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Shulevitz, Uri\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
