As the daughter of a Dutch postman and his German wife, five-year-old Meta finds her life totally changed when WWII begins. Meta’s anxiety is exacerbated by der Stiefel, a Nazi soldier who haunts her. Life continues downhill until starvation renders the formerly vivacious child so weak that she doesn’t care if she dies. After the war ends, poverty, prejudice, and PTSD dog her every step, and Meta finds herself unable to pursue her dream of becoming a physician. Should she give in to despair, just put on a brave face, or accept reality and work towards those goals that are still possible?

Little Frits finds his life totally changed when his father becomes seriously ill, the family moves country, and he and his brother are placed in a children’s home. WWII begins, and friends and family are murdered. Frits struggles against illness, overwhelming sadness and anger. But when he is also deprived of his lifelong dream, he reaches the end of his tether. Should he hold onto anger or can he shake off the fetters of rage, embrace love, and start afresh?

Written for children from 4-10 years old, each book gently illustrates a Christian principle through the real-life adventures of an adorable bulldog, aiding adults in beginning important conversations.
