Description: Further DetailsTitle: A Year of Borrowed MenCondition: NewISBN-10: 1927485835EAN: 9781927485835ISBN: 9781927485835Publisher: Pajama PressFormat: HardbackRelease Date: 06/16/2016Description: The true story of one family choosing kindness in a time of war and fear When World War II "borrows" the men in seven-year-old Gerda's family, the German government sends them three new men in return: Gabriel, Fermaine, and Albert, French prisoners of war who must sleep in an outbuilding and work the farm until the war is over. Gerda knows they are supposed to treat the men as enemies, but it doesn’t seem fair. Can't they invite them into the warm house for one meal? What harm could it do to be friendly? World War II was a time of great suffering in Europe and beyond. Millions experienced the horrors of the Holocaust, the carnage of battlefields, the devastation of invasion, and many other atrocities. In A Year of Borrowed Men, author Michelle Barker shares one true story of the tenacity of humanity and friendship in a time of suspicion and fear. Renné Benoit's illustrations bring warmth to the era, showing the small ways in which a forbidden friendship bloomed: good food, a much-loved doll, a secret Christmas tree. Family photographs and an Author's Note give further insight into the life of Gerda, the little girl who proved that it isn't so far from Feinde (enemies) to Freunde (friends). "A tender memoir of human decency during wartime....The addition of old family photos from that time is poignant. This heartfelt picture book helps readers appreciate wartime's toll."—Kirkus ReviewsLanguage: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: CAItem Height: 229mmItem Length: 254mmItem Width: 10mmItem Weight: 476gAuthor: Michelle BarkerIllustrator: Renne BenoitContributor: Renne Benoit (Illustrated by)Genre: Children's ReferenceIntended Audience: Ages 4-8Release Year: 2016 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
