"The Christmas Truce of 1914"
Told via letter written to his mother, a young solider shares the miraculous truce during World War I on Christmas Day.
Incredible illustrations. My second grader and I had some interesting discussions why Mr. Hendrix choose to include some aspects of the illustrations and why he drew some objects to dominate the page.
Well written-shares the facts in an interesting manner.
*Highly recommend.
Mr. Hendrix shares the history of the war before the story begins.
Text features: author's note with a photo of the truce, glossary, index, map/diagram of the battlefield
