Description

The Day War Came (picture book by Nicola Davies)

The Day War Came is a heart-breaking yet heart-warming story of devastation, loss, hope and empathy. It is a simple text following an ordinary girl, enjoying an ordinary life with her family; going to school on an ordinary day. However, after an ordinary morning drawing pictures and learning about volcanoes, her world changes completely and utterly; for after lunch, the war came. Upon losing everything, she and her family travel to what she hopes will be safety, only to find that people are not so welcoming, even at a local school. Until a new friend offers a branch of hope and friendship.
