After the WarA story in drawings and words of a girl's life in a small town. In 1945 she plants an apple tree with her father, just home from the war. In 1999, a storm blows it over, and in 2000 a new tree is planted, a kowhai, and a tui feeds on it. The colour illustrations portray hundreds of details about the changes in New Zealand life - the farm is subdivided, the preserving jars are replaced with olive oil. Kerr's award-winning work includes 'The Optimist' and 'Mechanical Harry'. |
