"Little Ships: The Heroic Rescue at Dunkirk" by Michael Foreman tells the inspiring true story of the Dunkirk evacuation during World War II. In the spring of 1940, as German forces advance, hundreds of thousands of Allied soldiers find themselves trapped on the beaches of Dunkirk, France. The British government calls upon ordinary citizens to sail their small boats across the English Channel to rescue the stranded troops. The narrative captures the bravery and determination of those involved, highlighting the heroism of everyday individuals who risked their lives to save others, reinforcing themes of courage and resilience in the face of adversity.
