Spiral Bound. Condizione: Very Good. First And Only Edition. Color printed card covers with blue comb binding, comb with one break, offsetting opposite artwork, as usual. The book originated as a thank you message from a classroom of 5 & 6 year-olds in unoccupied France to the Americans for sending vitamins. Seven watercolors and hand-lettered text tell the tale of a humanized vitamin that makes its journey from the United States to France. Reproduced here, the original French text is accompanied by the English translation by Jeannette A Marandon. The book was sold for $1 at the time for the benefit of the agency's relief efforts for the children of unoccupied France. Rare, especially in such nice condition. Size: Oblong 12mo.
