Description
By: Susie Brown, Margaret Warner, Sebastian Ciaffaglione (Illustrator)
A moving story about mateship, bravery, and the Australian spirit.
When a soldier on a World War I battlefield sends a pine cone home to his mother in Australia, he could not know that his simple gift would become a symbol of history and remembrance.
Suzie Brown and Margaret Warner’s sensitive text is evocatively illustrated by Sebastian Ciaffaglione and tells a story that is about both personal experience and a nation-defining event.
In this breathtaking book, the history of the Battle of Lone Pine is detailed along with the lives of the real-life people who inspired the story, creating a valuable resource for Anzac Day conversations.
