Two Pennies is a story about a little boy called George, who after World War I, decides to work hard and raise two pennies to help rebuild a school in Villers-Bretonneux, France. This town had been flattened by war and the school destroyed. This is a powerful and poignant story about a little boy who, with courage, hope and perseverance, helped to build this school across the oceans.
