By Matthew James Dicken

One persistent girl searching and waiting for her father's return...Gwenhaf's father has gone to war. Her guardians are trying to care for her by keeping her in the dark but she is determined to find out the truth about her father...Aimed at higher achieving pupils around 10 to 12 years old, 'Peace in Words: The First World War, 1914-1918' is part of a powerful, yet unusual, series of children's picture books. The stark black pages with sparse white writing are interspersed with occasional poignant photographic images. Each story in the 'In Words' series comes with a list of possible tasks in order to increase children's engagement with literature and help to develop inference, analytical skills, evaluative processes and the ability to critically compare. Use this text to teach about feelings expressed in prose, third person narratives, powerful verbs and lists with commas.
