Rose Blanche

Product Information

Offers the consolation, that goodness, even when unrecorded, is still worth celebrating -- Amanda Craig - The Times Rose Blanche, written and illustrated by Roberto Innocenti, is a very powerful historical fiction book. The characters within the book are believable and the story is set within the realistic past. The events in this book could have actually happened. In this book, Rose lives in a small town in Germany. This town is very well represented by the illustrations in the book. Through most of the illustrations in the book, students are able to grasp the understanding that this event occurred in the past (the older cars, the starkness of the colors, and the outfits worn by the characters), and is realistic. Take suggestions from groups before revealing details from the teacher's notes from the folder in turn. (As a form of differentiation, the number of pictures used could be reduced). This is a fantastic whole class reading resource to explore the Rose Blanche story with your Year 5 / Year 6 when learning about World War 2.

It would be difficult to have a conversation about the holocaust based on this book alone, too much to explain (about the war, about race, about imprisonment, hunger, justice, etc.) and although there are no graphic scenes, the disappearing of people of the children and even the protagonist at the end can be disturbing for a young child. En la siguiente ilustración Innocenti nos cede el punto de vista de la protagonista y descubrimos a doble página en un plano frontal panorámico un campo de concentración. Texto -«El sol se ocultaba entre las colinas. Hacía viento. Rosa Blanca sintió frío»- e imagen devienen, una vez más, un todo que revelan metafóricamente la pérdida de la inocencia de la protagonista. I'm not sure at what age I would introduce this book. I actually read this last year to a group of 6th graders. As you can imagine, most laughed and asked if I was reading a children's picture book. But, by the end, they were captivated. Ask pupils to share personal stories with the class about someone helping them out of trouble e.g. they went too deep in water and someone pulled them out.

Donor And so it is left to the adult reading with the child to fill in the explanations - who are the soldiers? who are the children? why are they taken away? etc. Which makes this a good classroom/homeschool book for introducing the Holocaust to school-age children. But this also makes Rose Blanche a story that should not willy-nilly be given to a child to read on their own, it is way too graphic for younger picture book readers. En esta secuencia los encuadres, la disposición de los elementos y la elección de los colores son fundamentales en la narración de la historia. Contrastando con los colores pardos que caracterizan los uniformes de los soldados, Rosa Blanca viste con colores alegres (falda rosa, chaqueta azul) y lleva un vistoso lazo rojo. El rojo es un color significativo: caracteriza al alcalde Schroeder con su brazalete rojo con la cruz gamada y a Rosa Blanca con su lazo en el pelo. Ambos dejan de portar sendos distintivos al mismo tiempo: cuando aparece que la guerra toca su fin. The book is beautifully illustrated but I found the story unsatisfying. The end didn’t work for me; I wanted more. I am fine with disturbing stories, especially if aimed at a suitably mature audience, but this sparse tale is awfully dark for the picture book age set. And, while as an adult I understood exactly what happens, I don’t think most children will without an explanation. If you read this to young children, be prepared to have a discussion, and I don’t recommend this for young kids, not at all.

It’s about the horrors of war/the Holocaust as seen through the eyes of a young (non-Jewish) German girl who doesn’t fully understand the situation of the war going on. She does see some suffering though and tries to alleviate it. She’s a wonderfully compassionate person.
