The life of a child who should have been conceived on June 9, 1944.

Jean Didier and Zad tell the story of a child who should have been conceived on June 9, 1944. Or so it was written... But that day, the man who was to have been her father crossed paths with an SS Panzer division.
The narration in this picture book alternates between the terrible reality of that day and the imagined life of a child who never came to be. Tender, colorful illustrations tell of the life that might have been, contrasting with the gray and sepia-toned pages of the awful tragedy.
An essential book about the horrors of war.
