Grandma Emmy remembers what the war was like — listening to the wireless each night for news from the front-lines, crouching in trenches during air-raid drills at school, making cakes and socks for the war effort.

The war meant blackouts and sandbagging, but also playing with searchlights and the first taste of hamburgers. Although the fighting was far away, everyone's lives changed forever.

From the illustrator of the award-winning book Papa and the Olden Days.

I like it when Papa tells stories about the olden days.
There were no radios or TVs, instead families would sing around pianos.
Rather than cars, everybody rode horses.
The townspeople even had to make their own bread and bricks because the nearest city was far away.
Although it was long ago, Papa still remembers those days with a smile.

A walk down memory lane to a time when there were no radios or TVs; instead, families would sing around the piano. Rather than drive cars, people rode horses. The townsfolk even had to make their own bread and bricks because the nearest city was far away.
