This is a sad but lovely book. It is a true story of the Children of the Dust Bowl and the true story of the School at Weedpatch Camp. There are lots of lovely pictures, pictures on almost evry page. It is a powerful account of a desperate time. It takes place during the 1930's and is largely told in the words of the migrants themselves. This is a compelling document, also supplying much more than just the history of the school. Very inspiring read. It tells of the squatters camps, the foods, and the lack of food.

An excellent book about one of those little known spots in American history which should be better known. Lots of black and white photos.
