(3) K-3 Tales of the World series. Illustrated by Doris Ettlinger. After WWII ends, Thomas travels aboard the Queen Mary with his mum and baby brother to be reunited with his American stepfather in New York. Thomas's story highlights the experiences of "war brides" who immigrated to America to join their soldier husbands. Softly realistic illustrations capture the characters' range of emotions in this different kind of war story. An author’s note is appended.
