5.0 out of 5 stars A though provoking history lesson for readers of all ages., 25 Mar 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: Peacebound Trains (Hardcover)
This is a magnificent book for readers of all ages to enjoy and explore. Younger children may enjoy it on it's simplest level of a child missing a mother. Older readers will enjoy learning about the effects of war on family and friends. Everyone will savor the gracious art of the illustrator and will feel the story through his heartfelt interpretation of the author's words. Haemi Balgassi has truly written this story from her heart and tears and we are more than fortunate to be able share her family's history. Every classroom should own a copy of this wonderful history lesson.

5.0 out of 5 stars A beautifully written & illustrated glimpse of human history, 16 Nov 1996
By A Customer
This review is from: Peacebound Trains (Hardcover)
In this profoundly moving and beautifully illustrated picture storybook, Haemi Balgassi tells the story of the train which carried South Korean citizens south, away from the reach of North Korean invading troops. Structured as a story within a story, the book carries with it a sense of history, the terror and loss of war, and the hope that causes the most damaged humans to live for the future. This book is a TRIUMPH!

This review is from: Peacebound Trains (Hardcover)
I teach 3rd and 4th grade accelerated reading programs, and recommend this book heartily. Very moving and powerful, and the art is beautiful, too.
