It’s hard to find book with an ANZAC theme that work well with young children in preschools and junior primary schools.
This book follows a young girl who asks her grandfather about his grandfather, who served at Gallipoli. In a gentle way, the book pulls together many threads about remembering those who have passed away.
At the end, the girl and her grandfather find a place to remember each other.
Written by Sharon Holt and illustrated by Jasmine Irene Bailey
