"That very first night we started burying our dead. When you start burying your buddies, you think, what's the use in going on? But we did." — Private Angus Kearns, Canadian Scottish Regiment

There are few children's books about the Normandy invasion, and virtually none about the Canadians at D-Day. On the morning of June 6, 1944, thousands of young Canadians jumped into the waves off a beach that was code-named Juno. Despite withering gunfire, they waded ashore and managed to take out the German defences. In one unforgettable day, they launched the great campaign that would push the Nazis out of France and free Europe from the terror of Adolf Hitler. Using real-life stories of young people caught up in this epic event, On Juno Beach presents an engrossing account — in both words and pictures — of this world-changing day in which Canada played such an important role.
