PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Hugh Brewster is the author of several books for children and young adults, including Gilded Lives, Fatal Voyage: The Titanic's First-Class Passengers and Their World. Laurie Coulter is a children's book author who specializes in historical nonfiction. Her books include To Be a Princess. Ken Marschall is a painter best known as the world's foremost creator of Titanic artwork. His books include Titanic: An Illustrated History.
"It is the personal detail about the passengers and crew members (Question 340: Were there any movie stars?; Question 483: Did any passengers refuse to enter the lifeboats?; Question 532: What happened to Captain Smith?) that sets this apart from other children's books about the Titanic. There is a lot to be learned about a notable historical event here, but, in addition, there is attention to the human side and the human scale of things that will make this a useful resource and an interesting read for school and public library collections that need a new or replacement copy of the book.
