About this listen
I don't want to remember the truck, or the night I was taken, or the family I left behind. I am not a sad Polish girl. I am a good and happy German girl.
I am. I am. I am.
It's the Second World War and Himmler's Lebensborn Program is in full flight when eight-year-old Zofia Ulinski is kidnapped by the Germans. She has blonde hair and blue eyes, just like the other Polish children taken from their families and robbed of their names, their language, their heritage.
But when Zofia is adopted into a wealthy and loving German family, it is easier, it is safer to bury her past, deep down, so everything is forgotten.
Until the Polish boy arrives. And the past comes back to haunt her.

A Heart-Wrenching Beautifully Written Story
This was a beautiful book! The peformance was excellent and I greatly enjoyed the novel. Katrina Nannastead is an amazing author, and Waiting For the Storks was no exception to her phenomonal series of war books. A talent she has is putting her readers in the story and let them watch the character and empathise with every bit of story and the peformance allowed me to further delve myself into the horrible story of Zofia Ulinski. The novel in itself in phenomonal, explaining the loss and hardship of the Polish children and showing many perspectives of the war. All together, an amazing listen and I would definitely reccomend it to any age above 10+.
