This is such a sweet story from such a dark point in our history. And what makes the story all the better is knowing this is straight from Plumridge's own grandfather's life. I can see this piece as a picture book, the animals that Plumridge knows so much about, bats and birds, while dealing with a war we will never understand, is a great way to introduce the human and natural side of how the war affected our ancestors. Real people, real creatures, terribly sad history.
