Publisher's Synopsis
First - This book does not give any content about torture & distortion stories, kidnapping, burn, or any negative events that had a relationship with killing, it's just for children who are dreamers, who want to benefit from the positive experiences of the war.
This book is a collection of stories based on real-life events during World War II. A selection of 10 inspiring stories, introduces us to unique characters with different characteristics.
You will read about different kinds of stories.
Animals: from - Rip - the dog that has managed to locate and rescue at least 100 victims of the air raids To Gustav one of the British royal air force coastal command carrier pigeons.
Civilians: from - Adolphe Kaminsky - the young hero who has not yet reached the age of 17 when he decided to dedicate himself to forging documents to save lives during the Nazi's invasion of Northern France. To more daring characters men and women who risked their lives in a war zone to save others.
Knowing what these characters lived through helps us and the children reflect on the actions of our ancestors, especially during hard and stressful times like World War II. It helps us realize what humans are truly capable of.
I am passionate about children's literature and teaching them the importance of our world history, to further these lessons, I have chosen ten short stories that describe situations that revolve around values such as empathy, solidarity, friendship, and courage. I share these stories in hopes that they will inspire young readers and show them that positive lessons can be taught, even during a destructive war.
That is what history is all about - learning from the past and a willingness to use past events as references to build a better future. It allows us to be better prepared to face the challenges that life throws at us.
Whether the inspiring stories of Bravery, Battles, discovering history, or just World War II facts are your thing, you're sure to find something here that will keep you interested and turning the pages. So, open this book and your mind and see other things that you may not know existed.
