Industry Reviews
"Michael Foreman's lovely watercolor illustrations, rendered in hues that are subdued and restrained, perfectly echo the tone of the text and the war-time setting of the book."
Five Owls - Timothy Rohde
"Michael Foreman's illustrations re the perfect complement to this little story in the big war...Mr. Foreman paints with detailed understanding and authority. His realistic watercolors take us from the quiet of the fishing village to the smoke-blackened Stuka dive-bombing the Dunkirk beach, and home again."
New York Times Book Review - Jon Scieszka (05/18/1997)
"Spare, expressive text and Foreman's illustrations, as sullen in hue as they sky over the Channel, combine to bring the heroic story vividly to life..."
