Rosa is often stern with Liesel, but her generosity is shown from the beginning just by having opened her home to the girl.
At numerous points, Rosa suggests, primarily through small gestures, her affection for Liesel. When the mayor’s wife decides to fire Rosa, Liesel explodes and yells at her; later, when she tells Rosa it is her fault, Rosa reassures her that it is not.
Later, as Liesel worries about Max’s fate, Rosa encourages her to relax and sends her outside to play soccer with Rudy. When Max is ill, Rosa further assuages her concern by visiting her at school to give her news of Max, covering this consideration by scolding her about a brush. When Max leaves the Hubermans’s home, he entrusts his sketchbook to Rosa with instructions. At an appropriate point, Rosa gives the book to Liesel and tells her that Max had left it for her.
