Anzac Day Parade by Glenda Kane and Lisa Allen

 

This story begins with an old soldier remembering his friends and comrades who lost their lives defending Crete during the Second World War. When a young boy asks him if it was cool to kill, he gets more than he bargained for, when the man tells him of the horrors of war and his friends who lost their lives.

At the end of the book there is also some factual information about what happened in Crete and also about why we commemorate ANZAC Day. It has a strong anti-war message, told in rhyme, with some fitting illustrations where details of the present are blended with the ghosts of the past.

Anzac Day Parade shows readers that ANZAC Day is not a celebration but a remembrance of those who fought for our country and our way of life in far-away lands never to return. It is a good picture book for a class to read when looking at ANZAC day.
