We listened to this on a long drive with my 10-year-old, and he actually asked to keep going. That never happens! The stories were short enough to hold his attention but packed with emotion and detail. It even sparked a deeper conversation about courage and standing up for others. Definitely a memorable listening experience for both of us.

This book presents an engaging and easy-to-read introduction to one of history's most important eras. With slowed-down storytelling and true stories, it introduces the bravery, hardships, and resilience of people who lived through World War II to children. It is a great resource for making young readers understand people-oriented aspects of history without going overboard and thus ideal for parents and teachers seeking to instill interest in the past.

I love all things WW2 and wanted to teach my kid without as much gore. This book was the perfect thing, and we are both loving it. There are so many different aspects to the war, and the two stories in this book exemplify the heroes of the war. The book was perfectly geared towards kids and yet enjoyable for me to listen to as well. The narrator is nice to listen to. I would recommend this one.
