About the Book

Updated Edition of the extraordinary true story - with Author's Note & Bonus Materials "How could we leave the only world we had ever known? Parents, brothers, sisters, grandparents, aunts and uncles, and cousins - all were holding hands, clinging to one another, as if they'd never let go." In 1938, twelve-year-old Edith is forced to leave everything behind-her parents, her tiny German village, and the only life she has ever known-to journey to a place that feels as foreign as the moon: Chicago, Illinois. And she must make this journey alone. Inspired by the extraordinary true story of the author's mother, one of fourteen hundred children rescued from Nazi Germany through the One Thousand Children project, "Is It Night or Day?" weaves a powerful tale of courage, heartbreak, and resilience. Edith's escape from Hitler's Germany is both a personal triumph and a universal story of survival that echoes through history. In a world still marked by conflict and displacement, this story resonates more deeply than ever. Perfect for readers who cherish historical fiction, especially fans of "The Diary of a Young Girl" by Anne Frank and "Number the Stars" by Lois Lowry.
