It Rained Warm Bread by Gloria Moskowitz-Sweet and Hope Anita Smith illustrated by Lea Lyon

In this novel in verse, Ms. Smith relates Jewish Moishe Moskowitz's story of enduring persecution from the Polish and the Nazis over a nine year period.  Readers experience a look into a young boy's mind and the turmoil he confronted as he and his family were stripped of their dignity. 
Focusing on specks of hope kept him persevering.
I like how the Ms. Moskowitz-Sweet shares about her father's  life after he emigrated to America in the back.
Figurative language abounds in this book!!
Strategy: figurative language 
-Borrowed from the library.
