Recollections of the Great Depression as Seen by a Child

The Great Depression of the 1930s has been analyzed and studied from many adult perspectives. None have been remembered so vividly and humorously from a child's point of view. Focusing on her school days at McKinley School in Battle Creek, Michigan, we follow Nancy from Kindergarten through sixth grade. One gets a homey glimpse of parental struggles to provide enrichment in spite of hard times. From women picking through garbage cans to shoe taps made from cocoa can lids, you will get a taste of American ingenuity!
