A few hours ago the sky opened and it rained buckets. A little later the sun came out and I took an unscheduled nap. Just now I took an abbreviated walk around the neighborhood because the rain left behind some humidity.

Seen on my walk: an
Upside down flag and mushrooms
Sprouting from the rain

Worst Hard Time: The Untold Story of Those Who Survived the Great American Dust Bowl | Timothy Egan

bailed

I am unsure if it is me, if the book is outdated or what but I am at chapter 5 and I have spent most of the book wondering why we are talking about whatever he is writing about. Then for no apparent reason Egan drops the "R" word and I am over it. It is supposed to be about the dust bowl but I am 1/4 in and he has spent more time talking about people coming to America on boats from Germany and Russia then was ever needed.

Amiable I loved this book 🤷🏻‍♀️ 8mo

This book could make an excellent lesson on the importance of resilience and the ability to thrive where you are. This book would be an amazing classroom addition to a library.

The illustrations in this book were really good and I enjoyed the writing style of the author. It was also very interesting and would make a good addition to a classroom library.
