atricia Polacco's Aunt
Monique was not brought up
as a Jew, but she was brought
up to feel a kinship to others
regardless of their cultural background.
As a young girl whose mother served in
the French Resistance and hid Jews in
their basement, Monique found it quite
natural to keep the secret.
Monique discovered the extent of
her mother's bravery when a Jewish
girl her own age, Sevrine, snuck out
of her basement hiding place to
explore the nighttime world of her
protectors. At first thought to be an
apparition to the dozy Monique,
Sevrine became a friend cherished
long after the war.

When Polacco heard her aunt's
story, she decided it would be a per-
fect foundation for a children's tale, so
she wrote and illustrated The Butterfly
(Philomel; $16.99). The author-illus-
trator of some 20 books will be sign-
ing copies of her latest June 3 at
Borders in Ann Arbor and June 4 at
Half Way Down the Stairs in
Rochester and at the Oak Park
Library.
"My mother's family was Jewish,
and we knew what it was like in
Russia, Poland and Germany during
the war," explains Polacco, who works
out of her home in Union City, Mich.
"Two summers ago, my aunt, who
married my mother's brother, came
out here to spend some time with me,
and I wanted to know what it was
like during the Nazi occupation in
France. As she was shar-
ing this particular story
with me, I knew it was
strong and needed to be
told.
"This story pays
homage to those who
have stood up against
oppression, shown
courage and known the
joy of true friendship.
I'm a firm believer that
unless we are reminded
of the horror that
mankind is capable of
doing to each other, we
run the risk of doing it
again. Since I've moved
hack to Michigan, I
worry about the Nazi
movement that I see
cropping up."
Born Patricia Ann
Barber in Lansing,
Polacco, 56, grew up in
California and
Michigan, dividing her
time between divorced
parents. Studying in the
United States and
Australia, she earned
master's and doctoral
degrees in art history,
specializing in Russian
