Anne Frank: Her Life in Words and Pictures

Anne Frank: Her Life in Words and Pictures
By Menno Metselaar and Ruud van der Rol
Roaring Book Press, 2009. 216 pgs. Young Adult Nonfiction

This photobiography is incredibly powerful. Combining text from Anne Frank's diary, as well as tons of photographs, including photos taken by the Frank family, and their own commentary, Mestelaar and van der Rol have created a book that allows readers another view into Anne Frank's life. Readers can see her actual diary and pages from it as well as view the Franks' hiding place. Extending beyond the end of Anne Frank's diary, the authors also include information about her time in concentration camps and information about her father, the lone survivor of the Frank family. All in all, a stunning book.
