When war breaks out, it's not just soldiers who are affected-it's families, children, and entire countries. This book brings to life one of the most important and least talked-about wars in modern history, told in a way that kids can truly understand. Readers ages 7 to 12 will explore how a single country was divided in two, how brave individuals stepped up during uncertain times, and why this war still matters today.

Readers will meet children who lived through the chaos, learn what life was like on both sides of the conflict, and see how decisions made decades ago continue to shape the world. With sections on geography, culture, family life, major events, and acts of kindness during the darkest days, this book helps young readers understand not just what happened, but why it still matters.

This isn't just about dates and maps-it's about fairness, choices, and what peace really means. Perfect for school projects, history units, or curious minds, this book gives kids the tools to think deeply, ask big questions, and connect past events to the world they live in today.
