CHILDREN OF THE DUST DAYS
  Oval Callout: Click on book cover to read an excerpt from Dust Days.

     In the 1930s, rains stopped, winds howled, and fields turned to dust. During the Dust Bowl era, many North Americans lost their homes, jobs, and hopes for the future. This book looks at the lives of children as they faced drought, hunger, and the challenges of finding new homes. Children of the Dust Days is illustrated with photos from the past and seen through the eyes of the children who lived it. It is part of the series "Picture the American Past." The book includes a class project, glossary, timeline, notes for teachers, and  additional resources.
