"Filled with
colorful illustrations and text, the book effectively evokes the particular
time when citizens across the world celebrated the end of a bloody war. That
universal feeling of hope pulses through this title."
This entry into the Tales of the World series shines a vivid light on
war’s upheavals by focusing on fictional Thomas, a nine-year-old boy who faces
leaving home, friends, grandparents, and his beloved cricket for the U.S., a
new father, a new school, and the strange sport of baseball. A wedding cake
made by friends’ saving up sugar and powdered eggs for weeks and a view from
the train into London of the Blitz’s devastation bring home war’s everyday
hardship and trauma. At the same time, Thomas is moving into a hopeful future.
Heartfelt watercolor illustrations bring to life the anxiety and tentative joys
of this unique historical situation. Booklist
