戰地裡的天使

I'm curious how Mary Pope Osborne decided to blend fantasy with such a pivotal moment in history for a children's book. Was there a particular message she wanted young readers to take away?

The way the story brings the Civil War to life through fantasy elements was really creative. Did it help make the history feel more accessible or inspiring for young readers?

In weaving together history and fantasy, I wonder what kind of research or creative choices went into making sure the story was both fun and respectful of the real events.
