When Spring Comes to the DMZ

When Spring Comes to the DMZ is a fabulous little book! Learn about the DMZ zone and what happened during the time that the authors' grandfather was there, and what it is today.

Loved reading this aloud with my kids! Definitely, one that you will want to find for your kids! The pictures are amazing!

I received an advanced copy of this book for an honest and fair review from the publisher and Edelweiss

~Check out my blog, The Bent Bookworm!~When Spring Comes to the DMZ is an important book. It is so easy for much of the world to forget the war that happened more than half a century ago, and the countries and people still affected by it. I spent two years in South Korea with the U.S. Army, and made more than one trip to the DMZ. In a country full of people (Seoul, less than an hour's drive from the DMZ, is HUGE and a beautiful city well worth visiting), the DMZ area is somewhat startling in its emptiness. The illustrations in this book capture the odd juxtaposition of the beautiful wildlife with the razor wire, warning signs, and military equipment. 5/5 stars, highly recommend - every school library should have a copy of this book. I've pre-ordered it to have on my personal shelf at home. I don't foresee it being very popular here in the US, which is a shame, but I want to have it to show people and children a different view of the Korean DMZ. Maybe one day the mines and wire will be gone. Many thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for providing a free copy in exchange for an honest review!Blog Twitter Bloglovin Instagram Google+
