Through Granddad and Maddy, the reader meets Leslie Miller, a real World War l soldier, who fought for freedom and brought home a handful of acorns to plant on his farm in Scarborough, Ontario. The story takes us back to the infamous 1917 battle of Vimy Ridge and helps us learn why Canada succeeded in battle where other allied countries did not. This compassionately told story teaches lessons of peace, nature and integrity in the most surprising of places.
