Just Like Me
Camp might be just what Julia needs
Who eats Cheetos with chopsticks? Avery and Becca, my “Chinese Sisters,” that’s who. We’re not really sisters — we were just adopted from the same orphanage. And we’re nothing alike. They sing Chinese love songs on the bus to summer camp, and I pretend like I don’t know them. Hardcover | Kindle book

By B. Spivey on January 25, 2013
Format: Paperback
What an enjoyable little history lesson this is! I'd never heard of it when I bought it from a used book store, but I instantly recognized that it would be a great book for our Kindergarten year of homeschooling (suitable for the next few years as well!). We've just finished it and indeed- it was perfect. We broke it into several days to keep his attention fresh, but he begged to do "one more" (it's broken into 20 little topics/pages). Each topic is simply and charmingly illustrated- so much more special because the artist is also the author. You can tell the paintings are right from his memory.
This is now a jewel in my collection, and will be cherished years! Looking it up now, I just learned there is also A Prairie's Boys Summer- I'm ordering now!

This book is simply a favorite of our family. We really enjoy reading about the hard prairie life and school yard fun that William Kurelek portrays on each page. The paintings wonderfully illustrate the daily life on prairie and each are complimented with a small story. This is one of those books that you can read to your children over and over again without getting bored. I just ordered a Prairie Boy's Summer, which I am sure will be just as delightful.

Delightful in its simplicity but evocative in the imagery, this book is a treasure. It reminds me of the wonders of my youth growing up on the prairies. The scenes would have been just a few miles from my own family home place.

Format: Paperback
This book gives an interesting overview of life in the northern regions of America (Canada) during the depression era. Included are favorite pastimes and games that the children played. This book was written with the youngest generation in mind but it will be enjoyed by the older generation for the memories it stirs. I'm of a middle generation and I enjoyed it because it gave me a closer look at my parents childhood.
