Bartali's Bicycle by Megan Hoyt illustrated by Iacopo Bruno**

 The True Story of Gino Bartali Italy's Secret Hero

Gino Bartali won the Tour de France two times. Yet his greatest achievement was rescuing more than eight hundred Jews during World War II. He rode his bicycle around Italy delivering false identification papers for hidden Jews. As the war continued, he sought other creative ways to help the Jews. 

Well-written story that focuses on how one person can make a difference.

**Highly, highly recommend.
