3-5 yrs Picture Books (Hardback)

This is a true story from World War II about a little boy in Lebanon and an Australian soldier.
An act of kindness brought them together.

Melina is a primary school teacher who has worked in Australia and overseas. Her love of books, travel and cultures has helped her realise this dream of producing her first picture book. This true story about her father brings together her Lebanese and Australian heritage and is particularly special as it is a collaborative project, completed across the globe with her cousin Mounia.
