Inhaltsangabe

While the world was at war, love was still at work.

A grandchild has always noticed something special about Grandma and Grandpa: after all these years, they still really love each other.

During a meal at their favorite restaurant, Grandma and Grandpa begin sharing the story of another meal there many years ago—their very first date. It was a time when the world was at war, the future was uncertain, and before long, nineteen-year-old Grandpa was called away to serve during World War II.

While he served overseas, Grandma joined countless women back home, stepping into jobs left behind by men who had gone to war. Separated by distance and uncertainty, the young couple made one important promise: they would write.

And write they did.

Through letters sent across an ocean, their relationship continued to grow—even when neither of them knew exactly what the future would hold.

Inspired by multi-award-winning children's book author Ruthie Godfrey's own grandparents and their real wartime correspondence, Love at Work introduces young readers to World War II through an intimate family story of love, sacrifice, hope, and connection. Beautiful illustrations and glimpses of the couple's letters help bring the past to life while showing children that history isn't only made up of dates and events—it's made up of real people and the lives they lived.

Perfect for families, grandparents and grandchildren, elementary classrooms, homeschool history lessons, and libraries, this touching picture book opens meaningful conversations about World War II, military families, wartime correspondence, family history, sacrifice, commitment, and enduring love. A beautiful way to help a new generation discover the stories—and the people—behind history.
