Bobby, The littlest war hero

Due in end of March 2021.

Bobby is a tiny canary. His best friend is Jack, a soldier in one of the tunnelling companies of the Royal Engineers. Together they go deep into the tunnels under no-man’s-land.

Jack’s job is to dig, while Bobby’s job is to warn the men to get out quickly when there’s a dangerous gas. Bobby’s warnings save the tunnellers’ lives again and again.

But Jack worries that it’s a hard life for a little bird. Will Bobby ever be free to fly again?
