DD's teacher tells me that she has checked out The Diary of Anne Frank from the school library. DD is VERY VERY sensitive--as in, she is known to weep hysterically over Pixar films. I would never have chosen for her to read this at this age and have only recently been tentatively introducing info about the world wars. Hadn't talked about the holocaust yet at all.
I am debating trying to get her to return the book, but I'm sure she'll resist and censoring her reading doesn't sit well with me. So I may just have to deal with the questions and sadness. I'd really appreciate hearing from others who have approached this topic with sensitive kids this age.
