AbstractHistoryArchive Description
When a soldier on a World War I battlefield sends a pine cone home to
his mother, he could not know that his simple gift would become a symbol
of history and remembrance. Susie 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.(Trove)
