Author Notes:Michelle R. McCann, author of several books about heroes and heroines, was especially inspired by Luba's incredible story of how one woman's quiet courage could move others to take risks in desperate times. Michelle lives with her husband and son in Portland, Oregon, where she writes, edits, and teaches about children's books at Portland State University. This is her seventh book for children.

Fine artist Ann Marshall makes her picturebook debut with these luminous oil and collage illustrations. She lives in the New York area.
