From an original watercolor painting from The Model Maker: A World War II Veteran's Story Written by Brett S. Weber, Illustrated by Eileen Slifer The Model Maker is inspired by the personal account of a World War II veteran’s experiences during the Battle of the Bulge. Bill spends a good deal of his time working on his model aeroplanes. They mean more to him than just a usual hobby, however. They remind him of a time and a place when these models were replaced with real planes, and his tranquil, rural setting was replaced with gunfire, thick forests, and an ever-present danger. Through his models, he recalls his story in a simple, quiet way that belies the harsh reality of the Battle of the Bulge. This story is meant to capture the interest of the young reader, and to serve as a springboard into an important historical lesson. The event of World War II was a pivotal point in modern history. It is imperative that the lessons learned by this “Greatest Generation” should never be lost or forgotten.  Recommended ages 9-12.   Book can be ordered at http://www.amazon.com/Model-Maker-World-Veterans-Story/dp/1419651803/sr=8-1/qid=1167452126?ie=UTF8
