Beskrivelse
This book is a collection of interviews from people who grew up between the 1920s and the 1940's. Those that were born in North America tell about surviving The Great Depression, happy stories of youthful schooldays, family outings, and the effect of the bombing of Pearl Harbor. For those that emigrated from the war-torn countries of Estonia, The Netherlands, and Poland, growing up came all too suddenly as they ran with their families to escape the bombings. Yet, even their childhood recollections are humorous, uplifting, and inspiring. Illistrator David Byrne has imaginatively captured the humor in every tale with his Norman Rockwell-style drawings. Readers of this book will come away with a new sense of history as told by the children that grew up to be "the Great Generation."
