A heartbreaking yet
ultimately uplifting tale of two towns: Melbourne, Australia and Villers-
Bretonneux, France, during World War One. Henri lives in the French village of
Villers- Bretonneux. Billy lives in Melbourne, Australia. These two little
boys, who live thousands of miles away from each other, share one story that
unites Villers-Bretonneux and Melbourne in history. A moving and inspiring
story of World War One.
A lovely picture book, in which the story is preciously told for a 6+ age group. Great for one-to-ones and classroom readings.
