Children's Picturebooks, Epiphanies, and the 1914 Christmas Truce
Abstract:Given the widespread expectation that children's war literature should be morally instructive, it is not surprising that epiphanies are a regular plot device used in children's picturebooks. This article will analyze four children's picturebooks about the 1914 Christmas Truce that are framed by epiphanic experiences: Shooting at the Stars: The Christmas Truce of 1914 (Hendrix; 2014), And the Soldiers Sang (Lewis; 2011), The Christmas Truce (Duffy; 2014), and The Christmas Truce: The Place Where Peace Was Found (Robinson; 2014).
