She wears the disguise of a little girl and tracks her progress in a secret notebook. Some evenings, Rosalie's mother reads aloud Father's letters from the front lines, so that Rosalie knows he is thinking of her and looking forward to the end of the war and to finally coming home. But one day a letter comes that her mother \u003ci\u003edoesn't \u003c\/i\u003eread to her, and Rosalie knows her mission must soon come to an end. Author Timoth e de Fombelle reveals the true consequence of war through the experiences of small, determined Rosalie, while acclaimed artist Isabelle Arsenault illustrates Rosalie's story in muted grays marked with soft spots of color -- the orange flame of Rosalie's hair, the pale pink of a scarf, the deep blue ink of her father's letters. All the more captivating for the simplicity with which it is drawn and told, this quiet tale will stay with the reader long after its last page is turned.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTimothée\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cb\u003ede Fombelle\u003c\/b\u003e is a French playwright and the author of many books, including \u003ci\u003eToby Alone, Toby and the Secrets of the Tree, Vango, \u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eA Prince Without a Kingdom, \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eThe Book of Pearl. \u003c\/i\u003eHe lives with his family in Paris. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eIsabelle Arsenault \u003c\/b\u003eis the author-illustrator of \u003ci\u003eAlpha \u003c\/i\u003eand the illustrator of several other picture books, including the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e Best Illustrated Children's Book \u003ci\u003eJane, the Fox, and Me\u003c\/i\u003e by Fanny Britt and \u003ci\u003eCloth Lullaby: The Woven Life of Louise Bourgeois \u003c\/i\u003eby Amy Novesky.
