The Yellow Flower by Ann Stalcup Language: English Imagine a village being there one day and gone the next! That is what happened to a small village in Mexico in the 1940s. Only a church tower survived the wrath of a newly-risen volcano; the village itself buried deep beneath the lava. The Yellow Flower tells the story of one lone flower growing on a rock wall in what remains of the village church and the way it inspires a boy with hope, strength, courage, and a determination to grow to be the best that he can be. You can find The Yellow Flower at Olvera Street Candle Shop W3 and Olverita's Village W24 in Los Angeles.

Each of their stories is quite different. Pat was four-and-a-half when the war between Great Britain and Germany began on September 3, 1939, but it wasn’t until she was seven that her family life in England changed drastically. For Hilda and Ursula, both born in Berlin, their worlds turned upside down on January 30, 1933, when Hitler was elected Chancellor of Germany. Hilda would be seven four months later; Ursula had just had her seventh birthday. All three children survived the war for different reasons and in different locations. One escaped Germany days before war was declared, one barely lived through a bombing raid in England, while the third survived a concentration camp. As young children, all three had wonderfully happy childhoods, childhoods that changed suddenly and unexpectedly for each of them when they were seven.
