Spinner S: Who Was Sitting Bull?

Who Was Sitting Bull?

In the early morning hours of June 6, 1944, an armada of 7,000 ships carrying 160,000 Allied troops stormed the beaches of Nazi-occupied France. Up until then the Allied forces had suffered serious defeats, yet D -Day, as the invasion was called, spelled the beginning of the end for Nazi Germany and the Third Reich. Readers will dive into the heart of the action and discover how it was planned and carried out and how it overwhelmed the Germans who had been tricked into thinking the attack would take place elsewhere. D-Day was a major turning point in World War II and hailed as one of the greatest military attacks of all time.

Patricia Brennan takes readers into the heart of WWII D-Day and gives an hour-by-hour breakdown of one of the greatest amphibious landings ever.

What Was D-Day?

Soon separated from loved ones, as the Second World War rages around them Friedel and Gina are eventually taken to a Nazi prison camp - a place of danger and fear, where they must do everything they can to survive.

A poignant and ultimately uplifting picture book based on a true story of an escape from a convoy to Auschwitz. "a powerful piece of art where words and pictures work together to inform readers aged 7+ about the horrors of the Holocaust." - Editor's Choice, The Bookseller "Get through one day and then on to the next. One day at a time. One day after another." Eugène Handschuh was a Jewish member of the Resistance in occupied Paris. After he was captured by the Nazis, he was placed on a convoy to Auschwitz. Against all the odds, with the help of strangers and fellow members of the Resistance, Eugène and his father escaped the convoy and survived - when so many others did not. Former Children's Laureate Michael Rosen was inspired to tell this story after discovering his father's uncle and aunt were on the same convoy as Eugène, but never returned. With powerful illustrations from Benjamin Phillips, whose work has been shortlisted for the Carnegie Medal for Illustration, this sensitive true-story picture book reminds us of the best of people, in the worst of times.
