Memorial
Memorial is a story about a tree that has
been planted near a war memorial monument. As the years pass the tree has grown
very big and strong. The tree becomes an issue for locals and the local council
has decided that the tree will be cut down.
The text development and the illustrations
work very well together. They allow the reader to be engaged and provide
thought provoking questions. The message that lies within the story is the
importance of memory and remembrance. This has also been captured through the
illustrations and the constant shifting of environment, this in turn makes the
picture book feel more like a memory not an experience. This story has been cleverly
created and really allows the reader to be part of the journey.
