Add a CommentThis book is a treasure. The importance of people coming together in a time of great need and sorrow blows one's mind as to what the ordinary "Joe" can do. He can answer his Government's call. Girls as well.
A very nice children's picture book that tells the story of the evacuation of Dunkirk through the eyes of a young girl who helps her father in one of the rescue boats. I thought this was really well done and a pleasure to read.
