How do animals see the world? It turns out, very differently.

In this nonfiction picture book, a young girl and her baby sister's outdoor adventure (hiking through the forest, picnicking in the grass and swimming in the ocean) is overseen by the local fauna. The way those animals view the girls is very different from how the girls see each other. Goats see far and wide in a panorama, whales don't see color the way humans do and a high-soaring eagle's sharp vision can clearly see a tiny mouse far below. Through clever illustrations and scientific prose, we are reminded that while we may see things differently, we all share this life together on planet Earth.

The Nazis have invaded Denmark, putting Lisa and her family's safety in danger. But they refuse to parish without a fight, leading Lisa and a group of teenage Jews to an underground resistance movement.

As the Nazi's plan to send anyone of Jewish faith to concentration camps, Lisa realizes that the war her people are fighting is a lonely and deadly one. Desperately wanting to prevent the harm and danger to come, Lisa and her brother, Stefan, fight desperately to prove that even just one person can make a difference.

In the sequel to Lisa's War, Jesper continues his work for the Danish resistance and recounts the dangers that led to his confinement in a German prison.

Determined to make a difference any way he can, Jesper begins to work for an underground press to help tell the truths about what is happening during the war. Simultaneously, frustrated with the state of their country, Stefan and Jesper join forces to fight the Nazis.

Mata's extensive research, combined with powerful characterization and compelling narration, creates an intense, provocative novel. - Publishers Weekly
