When the Allies invaded Normandy on June 6th, 1944, one hundred orphaned girls were forced to flee their orphanage in Caen, the only home many of them had ever known. They began a long trek to safety, to Beaufort-en-Vallee, a town one hundred and fifty miles away. As the war raged on all sides, the girls, led by their teachers, bravely marched south, keeping one step ahead of the fighting and waving little white flags for protection. Told through their own coloured-pencil drawings and words, this moving and timely book details their experiences on their journey to safety.
