At the outset of the review I asked whether a short picture book can really capture the tragedy and complexities of human conflict and warfare. I do believe that they can. However, while this particular book is a great introduction to this topic, I do not believe it fully captures the heart wrenching emotions of the topic. Great introduction…but that is where it ends.
