| Summary: | On one side of the ocean, children's bellies growled. A war had ended. There was peace, but not enough food. Discover the heartwarming true story of "The Friendship Train," which collected food for those in need in the wake of World War II. People across the United States pitched in and donated food and supplies to deliver to strangers on the other side of the ocean in France, Italy, and elsewhere, to help them survive the long post-war winter. This nonfiction picture book shows how small acts of kindness can grow into tremendous impacts when we all work together, lighting a lamp in the face of dark times and turning strangers into friends. |
