Mercedes and her mother read about the pilot Lt. Gail Halvorsen who was dropping handkerchief parachutes with candy and gum to children at the Tempelhof Air Field. She writes him a letter requesting that he drops it off right in her garden with the chickens. Will a busy Lt. have time a small girl in West Berlin?
The Epilogue is sweet!
*Highly recommend.
