Publisher blurb: As war rages, Peter and his father flee their home, taking with them a treasure box that holds something more precious than jewels. They journey through mud and rain and long cold nights, and soon their survival becomes more important than any possessions they carry. But as the years go by, Peter never forgets the treasure box, and one day he returns to find it... From two of our most talented picture-book creators comes this celebration of things that can't be destroyed by bombs or fire. A haunting and beautiful tale of the power of words, the importance of stories and the resilience of the human spirit.
Treasure Box was published in 2013, the paperback in 2017 and it is still available. I picked up my copy from a recant charity book sale. Here is a review and some teaching ideas (2013) from Megan Daley. Here is an excellent set of questions to use with students prior to reading this book. There is a comprehensive list of teacher resources on the National Centre for Children's Literature database Picture Books for Older Readers page.
