Testimonials
"I've spent a good deal of time reading other histories of WW2, and I learned a lot about aspects of the war that I hadn't known about. So, thank you!"
—David Strafon, Middle School Principal
"Legends of War brings World War II to life for young readers through powerful stories of bravery, sacrifice, and unexpected heroism."
—Heidi Dechief, Elementary School Librarian
I really enjoyed reading this book with my son. The stories are true and very powerful. They show a different kind of bravery, kindness, courage and doing the right thing even when it is hard. My son was very interested and we had great talks after reading each chapter. You can feel that the writer cares a lot and knows how to connect with young readers. The photos and maps also helped a lot-we loved looking at them while reading. They make the history feel more real and easier to imagine.
Highly recommended for families and kids who want to understand not just what happened, but what mattered.
- M. Karaege, Parent of Former Student of Mr. Teinert
