"An exquisite and moving picture book about Marcel Marceau's courageous acts in the French Resistance and how he became the famous mime we know. Illustrated by two-time Caldecott Honoree Pamela Zagarenski.
Marcel Marceau was the most famous mime of the twentieth century. But before that, he was a young Jewish Frenchman growing up in the shadow of World War II. Born in Strasbourg as Marcel Mangel, he fled to Paris before the Nazi invaders and joined his brother in the Resistance.
The thrilling true story of Marcel's courageous youth and how his work against the enemy not just saved lives but led to his debut as a mime artist."
