“The soldiers played cards and blew smoke out the open windows. They talked to Pop and how they would soon be shipped overseas any day now and were missing that girl of mine already, and my grandma's apple pie.“
This book makes many historical connections to what life was like during World War 2. During this time many people encountered economic challenges. Many women went to work while their husbands served, leaving many children without consistent adult supervision. This also made it hard for single mothers which may have been why the baby was left on the staircase. This story helps students understand economic hardships, fear, and loss of loved ones.

pickThis book was published in 1945 & is the story of the Mitchell family. There are 5 Mitchell children who live with their mother & Grannie while their father & uncle are off fighting in the war. They get into all sorts of funny shenanigans with their club to help the war effort. A nice snapshot of American life during WWII. I‘m reading the sequel for #FoodAndLit - 4⭐️
