This book was a present to my children from my mother for Christmas. She was very excited about it and said it reminded her of her childhood. It gave me and my children great insight as to what it was like for my Mother and her family growing up in the 30's. My Mother read it aloud to my children when she gave it to them. The part about Christmas morning made us all cry. The book told about a Southern Family in the 30's preparing for Christmas. But it was more than that, the love that was felt between the family members and the simple pleasures that were enjoyed during the trying times of the 30's was touching and ment a great deal to me and my children. We were able, for the first time to explain to our children what it was like to grow up back then, to do without and to make do with what you had. It amazed my children that people could be so happy with so little. I would recommend this book to any Grandparent to give to a Grandchild or to anyone who has parents or relatives who grew up in the 30's.
