The sheer tenacity and perseverance of Gladys Aylward will really challenge your kids and you too, as you read about how she led 100 children to safety in World War Two, walking for days to escape the bombing of their village. Set out with succinct text and beautiful pictures, there’s a fuller bio at the back of each of these books for children who want to find out more. A lovely, inspiring read for children and adults to share together.
