One Thousand Tracings

Healing The Wounds Of World War Ii

WRITTEN AND ILLUSTRATED BY LITA JUDGE

Brief Description:
When Lita Judge found hundreds of tracings of feet in her grandmother's attic, she was moved to discover the story behind them. One Thousand Tracings tells that story. In the aftermath of World War II, a family in America established contact with a family in Germany, and sent them a package of much-needed supplies, including shoes. The German family was extremely grateful and asked if their friends would help others in Europe. Soon foot tracings from all over the continent started pouring in to the modest Midwest farm. As the network of American families grew, hundreds of people were touched by this remarkable process. "A lovely book about generosity and compassion." - Karen Hesse
