War Stories for children – by Christina Houen Feb 19, 2019.

I would normally not review a book for primary school children about war. But one came across my desk recently, and I was struck by the loving detail with which it tells the story of an Anzac soldier from a country town……

This touching story is told with loving detail and vivid illustrations……

Stories like this, told in simple words with vivid detail, bring home to children what it meant to live in a time of war, and what we owe to those young men who sacrificed their lives. War is not glorified in this story, but its effects on men and women’s lives are narrated in fresh and interesting detail, for Primary School age children and their families.
