“Rachel is in the kitchen, warm and safe.
Her father is in the trenches, cold and afraid.
When Rachel makes biscuits for her father, she adds the love, warmth and hope that he needs.
This is a touching story of a family torn apart by war but brought together through the powerful simplicity of Anzac biscuits.
Anzac Biscuits delicately entwines the desolation of life on the front line with the tenderness of life on the home front.”
A mother and daughter at home in Australia around the time of World War 1 are baking Anzac biscuits and the mother is explaining their history. This is interspersed with scenes and reports of what it was like to be a young soldier [the child's father] at the battle site. Strong emotional impact , understandable and useful for approx 5-12 year olds.
