 Five-year-old Rosalie lives with her mother in a French village during World War I. Her father is away at the front. She keeps a secret notebook and is on a mission. She is Captain Rosalie, spying on the enemy. Her mother reads aloud Father’s letters and they all look forward to the war’s end and Father’s return home. One day, a letter arrives that Rosalie’s mother does not read. Watercolor, pen, and ink illustrations in muted grays with soft spots of orange, pink, and blue contribute to this quiet, emotional story of hope and courage. mjw |
