When author Glenda Kane saw a small boy run up to talk to a veteran who'd been standing alone and staring out to sea after an Anzac Day event, it made her curious.
She wondered what they talked about - and that wondering became a storybook called Anzac Day Parade.
In the book, the boy wants to know how exciting it was to fight in a war. "It's no thrill", the old man tells him.
Because the book's illustrator Lisa Allen needed a someone to paint from, she and Glenda were introduced via the RSA to Crete veteran Noel Dromgool.
He shared his experience of the war with them and his stories made their way into the book. Glenda and Lisa join Lynn to talk about why the book seems particularly timely right now.
