Críticas:

Amid the horror of the fighting in the First World War, there was one moment of unexpected and surprising harmony. On Christmas Eve 1914 the soldiers from opposing sides of No Man's Land joined together in the singing of a carol. Stille Nacht was begun by the German soldiers; Silent Night followed as the British soldiers joined in. The next day, weapons were laid down and the two sides played an impromptu game of football. In a simple and well-phrased text and evocative illustrations this moment of truce is finely captured. Julia Eccleshare --www.lovereading4kids.co.uk

- beautifully written, superbly illustrated, one which touches our hearts. Gervase Phinn Former County Inspector of Schools --www.strausshouseproductions.com

Reseña del editor:

It's Christmas Eve. A group of tired soldiers start singing Stille Nacht. Soldiers the other side of No Man's Land respond with Silent Night. The next day, soldiers on both sides put down their weapons and celebrate Christmas Day with a friendly soccer match. In the sequel to Where the Poppies Now Grow, The Christmas Truce - The Place Where Peace Was Found is based on that remarkable moment in history and finds soldiers Ben and Ray shaking hands in friendship with Karl and Lars. Written with touching sensitivity and brought to life through powerful illustrations the story is a celebration of the human spirit and marks the time when, for one day, peace found a place.
