I totally should have been doing the things around the house I said I‘d get to in the new year, but I‘ve spent the day at run club, down Internet rabbit holes, and on the couch with this book. 🤷🏻♀️
Thank you so much for my lovely Christmas card, bookmarks and ornaments, Gisela! I will enjoy using them! You were so sweet to send those! Merry Christmas, friend! 🎄❤️🎄 (For us the season lasts and lasts 😄)

“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.
pickThe Summer We Found the Baby by Amy Hest (2020) is a children's historical fiction book that is about three kids who discover an abandoned baby on the staircase of a library. This book is based on the time period of world war two. Amy Hest focuses on factual information by describing what life was like during this era. She focuses on fiction by the fictional narrative of three children discovering and taking the baby for themselves.
“I just wanted to hold her awhile I didn't mean to take the baby.“
