Introduction:
This is a lovingly illustrated book and tells the true feelings between old soldiers. Children who read this book will feel the changes and warmth in life from a different point of view. The grea grandfather of the little boy in this story guards the cemetery only by himself. On an ordinary morning, the boy goes to visit his great grandfather and is told that his great grandfather stays here alone, just for keeping a company of his beloved friends who sacrificed themselves in wars. The little boy gets to know that his great grandfather will be dead one day; this circle of life reminds the boy of dandelion seeds that they travel in the wind and eventually will drop into the soil and blossom.
