Descriere magazin:
Soar into the tender true story of how one airman inspired a movement by airdropping little parachutes of candy to kids trapped in occupied Berlin in this nonfiction picture book ode to everyday acts of kindness. nHow far can a small kindness reach? How much of a difference can two sticks of gum make? n nColonel Gail Halvorsen was a pilot in the United States Air Force delivering supplies to West Berlin when it was blockaded by the Soviets. One day he approached children gathered outside the airport with two leftover sticks of gum. To his surprise, the kids carefully split up the two sticks so everyone could have a taste, even sniffing the wrappers for their minty smell. n nInspired by the children\'s kindness and sympathetic to the way blockades were cutting off their access to simple pleasures like sweets, Halvorsen began airdropping candy, using his own rations and wiggling his wings to alert the kids below that it was time for treats. When a package of chocolates literally dropped on a reporter\'s head, news quickly spread of Uncle Wiggly Wings or the Berlin Candy Bomber. n nSoon, Halvorsen\'s Operation Little Vittles--born of one man\'s courage to be kind--grew to include other pilots and donations from American families and ended up dropping over twenty tons of candy to the children of war-torn Berlin.n
