This is the story of Anne's short and touching life. It's about a fun-loving and sensitive Jewish girl who kept an intimate diary during those difficult years in hiding. The fourteen-year old used her diary to express love, pain, fear and hope - especially the hope that she'd become a writer one day. Tragically, like so many others, Anne died in a concentration camp. After the war her diary was discovered and published and has since become a best-seller which is read by people throughout the world - just as Anne would have wished.

This book follows Anne Frank's short life through a combination of simple text, photographs, captions and quotation panels.
