Trade Review"In this beautiful tribute by Peter Sis, we hear the story of Winton, a former banker and Olympic fencer, and Vera, one of the Czech children he saved - and was eventually reunited with. A beautiful story told in stunning pictures and words." -- Alex O'Connell, Best Children's Books for Summer 2021 - The Sunday Times
"A story that deserves to be told, and in Peter Sís it’s found the perfect storyteller and illustrator. I read it with fascination and admiration for a man of great goodness and modesty." -- Philip Pullman, author of His Dark Materials
"The latest in Sis’s series of picture-book biographies tells the story behind the 1988 reunion on
That’s Life! of Sir Nicholas Winton and some of the Jews he rescued as children. It is spectacularly imaginative and will make readers weep." -- Watch Out For, Nicolette Jones - The Sunday Times
