Description - Lone Pine: 110th Anniversary Edition by Susie Brown

A moving story about mateship, bravery, and the Australian spirit.
 
When a soldier on a World War I battlefield sends a pine cone home to his mother in Australia, he could not know that his simple gift would become a symbol of history and remembrance.
 
Suzie Brown and Margaret Warner’s sensitive text is evocatively illustrated by Sebastian Ciaffaglione and tells a story that is about both personal experience and a nation-defining event.
 
In this breathtaking book, the history of the Battle of Lone Pine is detailed along with the lives of the real-life people who inspired the story, creating a valuable resource for Anzac Day conversations.
 
A CBCA Notable Book, Lone Pine celebrates the small actions we can take in times of crisis and the big impacts they can have.
 
Perfect for:
  • Kids interested in history.
  • Parents, caregivers and educators.
  • Teaching young readers about the ANZACs and Anzac Day.
  • Commemorating the 110th anniversary of the Battle of Lone Pine.
