Message in a sock
By
Written by Kaye Baillie, Illustrated by Narelda Joy
Tammy is safe at home, but her heart is with her father, who is away at war. While her mother knits socks for the soldiers, Tammy slips a message inside each pair. But will her one special message find her father and bring him safely home?
Based on a true exchange between Lance Corporal A. McDougall and a young girl, Message in a sock is a gorgeous collage-style tale that pays respect to the Anzacs and their families, a century after the end of the First World War.
