![]() ![]() I am so glad I picked up this book at the library. ![]() I encourage you to take time with this book though and savor it. ![]() This book is short and sweet, even a slow reader can whip through this book in a day. It is gorgeous, captivating, and completely heartbreaking. It is set up in various stanzas and they are so beautiful I cried at times. ![]() It is a book written in verse, although it is not exactly a poem. I want to talk about the structure of this book. She did her mother's story justice for sure. It also brought in some reality to the story, since it is based on the author mothers life. Finding out what happened to each one of them made the story really sweet. This book would be great as supplemental information for an Immigration and Depression topics in both school and homeschool curriculum.Īt the end of the story, there are family photos in the back. It is the depression and while the story doesn't go into detail about hunger and other stuff surrounding the era we do get glimpses into how the time affected our young Edith. So Edith is a kid with a ton of siblings. She made this adorable story such a great one. I felt like I connected with her right away. In this story, we follow young and cute Edith. This book is truly a gem and a must for every young child's bookshelf. Looking for me, is one of my favorite junior books and may become my favorite book I have read in 2018, but is quite early to give a book that award.
