Take your children back to 1910 for an old-fashioned New England
summer in the country, complete with a July Fourth parade. Poet
laureate Donald Hall (author of The Ox-Cart Man and other classics
of country life) grew up spending his summers on his
grandfather’s farm in rural New Hampshire. It was there he milked
cows, raised sheep, and heard stories about the past that are
brought to life in this read-aloud picture book for young children.
In that long-ago time, the biggest celebration of the year was the
July Fourth celebration in Danbury, New Hampshire—complete with
flags, marching bands, speeches, and ice cream. A trip to Boston,
where toys could be bought for a penny apiece, was a major event.
This is a piece of Americana that will bring readers—and
listeners—back to a simpler time when pleasure came from making
as much as buying, where politics were truly local, and when worth
was determined by character, not price. Published in the same
format and with the same delightful handcolored scratchboard
illustrations by Michael McCurdy as Donald Hall’s Lucy’s
Christmas, this is a wonderful way to share old-time summer
traditions and history with your child.
