The Day War Came

Bravo, Nicola Davies, for taking on a difficult subject and making it accessible to children. Here in America we are far from war, but it is not so in many places in other parts of the world. What must it be like to go to school, studying tadpoles and drawing birds, and suddenly find yourself alone amid the rubble that was once your home? That's the story Davies shares, and it's a worthy story, gently told despite its horrifying subject matter, a story that needs to be shared with our insulated children.
