(3) K-3 Illustrated by Laura Francesca Filippucci. High relates, in free verse, the story of the Thorn family as they witness the battle of Gettysburg and care for the fallen Union and Confederate soldiers during the aftermath. Detailed watercolor and ink illustrations enhance this tenderly crafted narrative. An author's note about the real Thorns and the text of the Gettysburg Address are appended.
Reviewer: Juliet S. King
