It's Leo's Birthday. He is turning 9 and it's 1936. He's with his best friends Max and Elsa. They go with Leo's father to go ride the Ferris wheel in Vienna. Leo's father snaps a photo and captures the last instant of pure happiness these 3 friends share. As WWII looms, the three friends find themselves on very different paths and all take the photo with them. This story is a heartbreaking tale of friendship, love, humanity, and hope. You will need tissues at the conclusion. I was heartbroken at the end, but still in awe of the beauty depicted amongst the darkness in these pages.
