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 airplanes. 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.
