How much of a difference can two simple sticks of chewing gum make to a city in need? During a difficult time in history, Colonel Gail Halvorsen was a pilot delivering essential supplies to the people of West Berlin. One day, he shared his last pieces of gum with the children gathered at the airport fence.
Moved by how grateful they were for such a small treat, he hatched a brilliant and brave plan. Using his own rations, he began dropping tiny parachutes made of handkerchiefs loaded with candy from his airplane. Wiggling his wings to signal his arrival, the famous Candy Bomber was born.
This tender, true story highlights a remarkable moment in history. It shows young readers how one person's everyday act of kindness can grow into a massive movement that brings hope and joy to thousands.
