Louise lives with her family in Terrace Park, Ohio.Michael Foreman trained at the Lowestoft Art School, St. Martin's School of Art, and the Royal College of Art in London.

A different kids story

A different kids story that I enjoyed but my kids didn't. Mine usually like adventure stories but for some reason this didn't grab them.

Excellent Book!

This is an excellent way to introduce younger children to the story of Dunkirk. Story is told from a child’s point of view so easy for children to relate to the storytelling.
