Representing a moment of humanity in the brutality of war, In Flanders Fields is a gentle introduction for young readers to the horrors of the battlefield.

Inspired by the true story of the 1914 Christmas Day truce in the trenches of Flanders early in World War I. This moving picture book follows a homesick young soldier as he risks his life to cross into no-man's-land and rescue a robin caught in the barbed wire that separates the opposing forces.

About the Author

Norman Jorgensen became an avid reader after being given The Secret Seven by Enid Blyton at age seven. His love affair with books has never ended and for the past thirty years Norman has worked in the books trade. In addition to Jack's Island, Norman has published The Smuggler's Curse and his latest, The Wreckers' Revenge - and three picture books - In Flanders Fields, The Last Viking and The Last Viking Returns.

With a career that started in television and film, Brian Harrison-Lever later lectured in design and drawing at the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts. He won the 2003 Children's Book Council of Australia Book of the Year Award and the 2003 American SPCA Henry Bergh Children's Book Award for In Flanders Fields.
