Summary: PEACEFUL PATCHWORK OF SACRED CHILDHOOD
Comment: This short book in free verse style (like Out of The Dust) about childhood memories would be excellent in three areas: to read aloud in installments for Quality bedtime; to read in one sitting; and to assign as a first book to be read by young students, who will then respond to easy questions and do minimal research. The simple pleasures and homespun concerns of life in rural Oregon are preserved in Claudia Lewis' poetic journal, as she gradually realizes that her pre war world is slipping into the past-- impacting both her town and her family. Joel Fontaine's bountiful b/w sketches create an aura of fragile and tender childhood, soft as pastels, reflecting Lewis' poingnant vignettes of a bygone era. This is a gentle introduction to journals and historical fiction for elementary children.
