Finding Alfie: A D-Day Story

On the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings, Michael Morpurgo
tells a new story about this milestone moment in British history.

Aunty Iris always treasured her small painting of a boat, painted
by her close friend Alfie many years before. Her nephew, Michael,
is inspired to try and find out what actually happened to Alfie
in World War II. He embarks on a journey that takes him across
the Channel into France, learning a profound lesson along the way
about service and the surprising power of memory.

With stunning illustrations by Michael Foreman, this powerful
book is perfect for the whole family to share and remember.
