I Was Only Nineteen {Tuesday's Treasures}

Next week Friday 25 April is ANZAC day here is Australia.  I'm on the search for books to read about Kiwi's and Aussies and ANZAC.  Today I was given this book to read to Sir N.

I Was Only Nineteen


  • Format: Hardback
  • Number of Pages: 32
  • Publisher: Allen & Unwin Children's Books 
  • Publication Date: 2014 
  • ISBN 10: 1743317239 
  • ISBN 13: 9781743317235 
  • Author Words by John Schumann from the iconic song about the Vietnam War 
  • Illustrator: Craig Smith 
This book is beautifully illustrated.  The words are the lyrics from a song by John Schumann and sung by the Australian group Redgum  (Album: Caught In The Act).  It took him 15 minutes to compose and is a tribute to the men and woman of Australia who fought in the Vietnam War. The illustrations are beautiful and take you on the journey with a Grandfather as he shares his memories of being Only 19.

Blessings

Here are a couple of YouTube clips of the song: I Was Only 19 (1983) and I was Only 19 Photo Montage

FREE Fine Arts Resources for Homeschool

Welcome to Day 5 of the 5 Days of ... Blog Hop brought to you by the 2014 Schoolhouse Review Crew. Todays list of links to FREE homeschool resources cover the subject are Fine Arts. Anything to do with music, music appreciation, art and art appreciation

Last year I shared with you my Homeschool for FREE list and then updated it in January this year.  I have been feeling a little frustrated with it's length and it's been difficult to find the information I want in it so this week I will be sharing shorter lists divided into subject areas.

With the advent of the internet and the generosity of many homeschool mothers there are some amazing resources available for us today.

What is Fine Art

    FREE Language Arts Resources for Homeschool

    Welcome to Day 4 of the 5 Days of ... Blog Hop brought to you by the 2014 Schoolhouse Review Crew.  Today's list of links are for resources to teach Language Arts for FREE gathered from around the web.

    Last year I shared with you my Homeschool for FREE list and then updated it in January this year.  I have been feeling a little frustrated with it's length and it's been difficult to find the information I want in it so this week I will be sharing shorter lists divided into subject areas.

    With the advent of the internet and the generosity of many homeschool mothers there are some amazing resources available for us today.

    On this blog
    We enjoy great literature and are trying to follow a Charlotte Mason approach with reading twaddle free literature.  I share a new book each week on a Tuesday called Tuesday's Treasures.  Be sure to come back each Tuesday for a new book.
