BITTERSWEET, BASED ON THE TRUE TALE OF THE BERLIN CANDY BOMBERS, written and illustrated by Christy Mandin

Yet another book I’m adding to my list of everything I know I learned from children’s books is writer-illustrator Christy Mandin’s BITTERSWEET, BASED ON THE TRUE TALE OF THE BERLIN CANDY BOMBERS. Mandin convincingly describes Hilda who lives in post-war West Berlin with a war still raging on in her belly.” American pilot Gail organized his colleagues in a secret mission, dropping sweets on the children to share. This mission expands until her drops 23 tons of candy to waiting children. Find a link to the book in the purchase button below.
