Remembering the "other" depression
by annevm
When a parent recently asked for historical fiction for an elementary student, among books that came to mind was Bud, Not Buddy, by Christopher Paul Curtis. This great novel, set in Michigan during the Great Depression, was chosen by the parent over my other suggestions, "because now that Michigan is in an economic depression again, I'd like for my child to read how it was back then." Good choice.
