Peg’s Pocket

'What's in Your Pocket Peg?' - A children's book about Jersey's Occupation

This illustrated children's book tells the story of the German Occupation of Jersey during the Second World War through the eyes of a young girl named Peg.

The book uses Peg's pocket and the items she carries as a gentle way to introduce young readers to this significant period in Jersey's history. By focusing on everyday objects and a child's perspective, the story makes this difficult historical topic accessible and age-appropriate for children, helping them understand what life was like during the Occupation. The illustrations bring warmth and humanity to the narrative, ensuring the story educates while remaining sensitive to its young audience.
