By the 1870s the community had a number of businesses which participated in the local fishery and the Labrador fishery. To foster that dialogue, there are no explanations of what is happening, only Rose's very concrete descriptions of what she sees. I wouldn’t recommend as a children book, as an adult I knew what was happening and I found some of the illustrations moving, but I’m not sure a child would grasp their meaning.

Rosa Blanca continuará volviendo al campo de concentración para llevar algo de comida a los niños prisioneros. Ask them to choose a number on the number line which they most agree would express their actions and stand by it. The images really helped to make the story realistic and I think it had more of an impact on the reader actually being able to see the realities of the war.

Teaching about the Holocaust might normally be taught as part of the history unit "Britain since 1930" covering details of the Second World War. The story said that, “Since I had a piece of bread, I carefully handed it through the pointed wires. But in the middle of the escalating madness, the title character of Rose Blanche remains vivid and distinct as a symbol of hope with her pink dress and the red ribbon in her hair.
