{"product_id":"the-crossing-michaels-story-michelle-oconnell-9780473355333","title":"The Crossing - Michael's Story","description":"In 1915, thousands of New Zealand soldiers marched from the southern Wairarapa across the Rimutaka Range to Wellington to board ships taking them to fight in World War One. A century later, writer and illustrator Michelle O'Connell joined a re-enactment of the march. Marching were relatives of the young men who had marched to war. Michelle's book is the story of her great-grandfather Albert and her young son, Michael. As with her previous book, 'Leaving for the Front', Michelle O'Connell has written and illustrated 'The Crossing'in a way that commemorates the soldiers while providing useful lessons for children on the sacrifice of their forebears. A 'Notes for the Teacher' section includes useful teaching points for primary aged children.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michelle O'Connell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0473355337\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780473355333\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bms Books an Imprint of Business Media Servic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/04\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 52\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.32lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 8.50w x 0.14d","brand":"Michelle O'Connell","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44056191107327,"sku":"9780473355333","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_36fddfe8-1e4b-4cbf-8de1-33aaa6cf3bdd.jpg?v=1685039993","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-crossing-michaels-story-michelle-oconnell-9780473355333","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
