Wave Me Goodbye

Wilson's books often explore difficult themes with sensitivity. I'm curious what motivated her to focus on this particular era and story for younger readers.

The book balances moments of joy with the harsh realities of war, which made me wonder how Wilson decided on that tone—was it to make the story more relatable for kids?

The characters' struggles and hopes felt very authentic. I'm interested in how much of this was based on real histories or personal stories.
