One of my favorite books but childhood, but a very deep one for a child.
It is he who heals the broken in spirit and binds up their wounds, he who numbers the stars one by one
Although the story can be grim and dark at some points, it is informative and tells an important story of the hardships faced by the Jewish people during World War II. This is a good independent reading book for 4th through 12th graders since it is not too challenging of a read but tells a timeless tale.
“It is he who heals the broken in spirit and binds up their wounds, he who numbers the stars one by one...”
This book would be great in a 4th-8th grade classroom. I have read it with my students in my current placement and many students did not know about the brutality of World War II, especially for those who were Jewish and practiced Jewish religion. This book allows students to look into other views from different time periods.
This is a historical nonfiction book written by Lois Lowry. It takes place in Denmark during the second world war. The book follows 10-year old Annemarie Yohansen who gets to experience the brutality of the Nazi occupation first hand. She and her family house their Jewish friends and have to avoid getting the attention of the Nazis.
“But why did the King of Denmark wear a yellow star? He didn‘t do anything wrong, did he?“
This quote reflects the historical reality that during the Nazi occupation, Jewish citizens in many European countries were required to wear yellow stars as a means of identification. This historical detail places the events of the story within the context of World War II and the persecution of Jewish people by the Nazis.
The title, “Number the Stars,“ serves as a symbolic representation of hope and resistance. As the characters face the darkness of the Nazi occupation, they find strength in their unity and commitment to resisting oppression. The novel beautifully illustrates how small acts of kindness and bravery can make a significant impact in the face of adversity.
Lois Lowry masterfully weaves historical facts into the narrative, creating a story that is both educational and emotionally resonant. The book encourages readers to reflect on the importance of standing up against injustice and the power of compassion in times of crisis. The characters, well-developed and relatable, contribute to the emotional depth of the narrative, making it a memorable and thought-provoking read.
“It was only in the fairy tales that people were called upon to be so brave, to die for one another. Not in real-life Denmark.”
This book highlights true character growth as the main character, Annemarie, faces the hardship of World War II and escaping her home country. The book would be very meaningful for young students to read as it shares great insight on the Holocaust. This book truly shares how at this time young children had to grow up fast and understand the difficulties of war.
The historical fiction book is about the escape of a family of Jews from Denmark. The story focuses on ten-year-old Annemarie and her family and their journey of escaping Denmark during World War II. This book gives great insight into the lives of people during this time and the hardships they faced. Overall, the book would be well suited for the grade levels of 4th-7th grade as it shares the difficulties of war.
This book is about a girl named Ann Marie and she lives in Copenhagen. This takes place in September of 1943, during the time of the Nazi‘s in Denmark. Her friend, Ellen, is Jewish.

Set during World War II, the book follows Anne Marie, a young girl living in Nazi ridden Denmark. When walking home from school with her Jewish best friend Ellen, the two were stopped by Nazis. The book shows World War II from the perspective of a child, and does not hold back on the hardships the Jewish people faced during this time.
I'm trying to read this Newbery Award winner for one of my reading challenges, but mostly, I'm just cuddling with this sweet potato. Tommy is having a bit of a flare-up, so he gets all the extra snugs and scritches he wants.

A simple, but powerful story about the Nazi occupation of Denmark and a little girl's experience of her family helping the resistance. Lowry also provides an afterword describing the influence of the book.
“The whole world had changed. Only the fairytales remained the same”
The first chapter of this book really brought the light into my eyes of what it was like to live in countries with the Nazis. To read the panic through everyone‘s eyes was heart wrenching.
This book was about a girl and her family who took in her friend and the friend‘s during the Nazi invasion. I thought this book brought out a lot of good and sad emotions and was so hard to put down!
This book is written by Lois Lowery and published in 1989. It is a story about a young 10 year old girl living in Copenhagen during the year 1943. The young girls name is Annemarie who lives with her mother, father, and sister. The young girls finds herself in the middle of rescuing the Danish Jews while they were trying to reach Sweden before they could be relocated by the Nazi's. This book is amazing and one I remember reading when I was younger
Despite being written by Lois Lowry, an American, “Number the Stars” does a near-perfect job of capturing Danish attitudes during WWII at least I (a very Danish person at heart) think so. While it‘s certainly not action-packed, it is a great lil‘ tale of bravery and just plain human decency, and I‘d recommend it far and wide!
This is a heartwarming historical fiction, one of my favourites. the other equally loved book is Night Circus as it is a truly enchanting book 😻
#alphabetgame #LetterN
I haven't read this for years, and it holds up. Annemarie really feels 10, and the situations are realistic without being too frightening. A classic that deserves the acclaim! #childrenslit #classics
I've got a kitten lump curled up next to me while I read. I'm stuck in a slightly awkward position, hence the weird angle of the camera 😆#readathon
I read this book several times when I was younger (10+ years ago), and it was very impactful and interesting. I read this book now, and it still is very impactful and interesting.
10 year old Annemarie has to face brave decisions to help her Jewish friend Ellen escape during the 1940 occupation of Nazi Denmark.
I‘d consider this book to be a novella. It was a very quick read. I‘ve read a lot lately about the nazi reign during WW2. This story told it from a different angle. It was set in Copenhagen, Denmark and told from the perspective of a young girl who assisted the Jewish to escape to Sweden. It was a very good story. I‘m glad that someone in one of the book clubs that I belong to recommended it.
A beloved book from my childhood and I credit it for my love of historical fiction… it gets better and better every time I read it!
My favourite book for #March #12booksof2021. As I was going through my Goodreads challenge list for 2021, I noticed that it was right around March that my reading was starting to slow down and it is probably when I started to get sick, even though I didn‘t realize that I was as sick as I was going to be.
An old friend of the show returns to my book podcast this week, and this time we‘re discussing Lois Lowry‘s deeply felt Newbery Medal winner Number the Stars. Our conversation is a lot about LEARNING — learning about history in a new way, learning about the nuances of Holocaust education, learning about courage, and the list goes on. Link to listen in my bio! ⭐️
I read this book when I was younger and it felt like such a long story, however I was surprised how quickly I finished it. It‘s a good story about a child dealing with the Holocaust in Copenhagen.
This HF Newberry medal book is one that I remember reading when I was younger. It follows a young Jewish girl and her family trying to escape and survive during World War 2. This would be good for IR. #ucflae3414sp21
4.5⭐️ I first read the book about 30 years ago, when I was about 11. I remember it had a red cover (think I still have it somewhere), but it also opened my eyes to the huge resistance movement that took place in Europe during #wwii. And spurred me into a love of WWII historical fiction. #2021 #fiction #historicalfiction #bookreview #bookstagram #litsyatoz2021 #n #readingeurope2021 #denmark🇩🇰 #middlegrade #bookspinbingo #newberyaward
This book is awesome!! I personally love historical fiction books so this is great. I love books like this.
Still as thought provoking as when I read it at 14 years old. I remember thinking what would I do. Now, I have no doubt. #NewberyEpicChallenge @amber_ldsmom

#NewberyEpicChallenge for December!
1. Number the Stars by Lois Lowry
2. The Bronze Bow by Elizabeth George Speare
What great authors this month! Hope you‘ll join us for these two. Great reads!
Lois Lowry has outdone herself once again with this fascinating story about a young girl that recounts the historic moment of the Danish Resistance saving nearly seven thousand Jews from the German Troops. A MUST read, if you are a fan of Lois Lowry and her work!
Author: Lois Lowry
Genre: Historical Fiction
Award: Newberry
Number the Stars is a historical fiction novel about a young Jewish girl surviving in Denmark in 1943 during the Nazi invasion. This book would be a great Read Aloud (RA) book that incorporates history and literacy. It is important to use UDL 3.1 (Activate or supply background knowledge) and provide plenty of background knowledge about WW2 and who the Nazis and Jews are.
This is a super tough question for me but if I had to pick...
1. Harry Potter (I am counting the whole series as 1)
2. Number the Stars by: Lois Lowery
3. Lilac Girls by: Martha Hall Kelly

My kids' book order from their school's online book fair finally arrived. They were excited 😁 I miss those book fair days when I was a kid.
Lois Lowry‘s “Number the Stars” is a must have. This HF book centers around bravery and friendship, which any child can relate to. I remember reading this repeatedly because of how good it is. This book is a Newberry Medal winner in 1990 and is about a brave little girl who helps a Jewish family get away from Nazi soldiers. “Number the Stars” is good to do for a LC or IR. https://www.teachingbooks.net/tb.cgi?tid=5042 #UCFLAE3414SP20
This book by Lois Lowry is about German troops trying to “relocate” all Jews of Denmark. Readers get to look at this HF book through the eyes of Annemarie Johansen. Winning the Newbery medal, this book is great for independent reading (IR) for the students to do on their own time and once back in class the class can discuss.

This HF is a 1990 Newbery Medal winning novel about a brave 10-year-old, Annemarie, and her family that help a Jewish family escape German troops during WWII. Though this book was published in 1989, students can relate to this with the war in Afghanistan and Iraq. It‘s not frequently spoken about, but many lost loved ones in those wars, just as they did during WWII. Lois Lowry would be a great AS for students as many of her books are phenomenal!
This was my #doublespin choice. This #historicalfiction is set in #Denmark during WWII. It‘s about a school girl & how she understands,survive during the period of WW. Informative and emotional book, best read for school going kids. I specially like the way it ended. 4.5⭐️
