The Friendship Train: A True Story of Helping and Healing After World War II
Debbie Levy, illustrated by Boris Kulikov
After World War II, many people in Europe did not have enough food. In the United States, people organized the Friendship Train, which crossed the country collecting supplies for hungry Europeans. Children took part by giving allowances, selling newspapers, gathering food from neighbors, and helping load packages onto trucks and railcars. Set in 1947, this true story follows a collective effort to send essential food across the ocean and the gratitude it inspired.
