America saw many “everyday heroes” during the World War II wartime effort. Moms joined the work force; daycares were established; children planted gardens, found jobs, and collected scraps; people carpooled or walked everywhere; and food, clothing, shoes, and many other items were rationed. Everyone did their part to help those on the front lines, even when that meant joining the front lines. Four young students in the book walk readers through the dynamics and typical life of families, students, and adults during World War II. 122 pgs, softcover. ~Rebecca

Description
Publisher's Description of History Comics: World War II
When we think of war, we often focus on the battlefields. But during the
war years of 1941 to 1945, Americans at home did whatever they could to
support the troops and defeat the Nazis. While millions of soldiers
ship out to fight on battlefronts in Europe and the Pacific, millions of
men, women, and children step into new and exciting roles in cities and
towns all across the United States. Four curious kids take us into
factories, farms, and even kitchens to show what the fight on the home
front looks like up close!
Category Description for History Comics
History comes to life with these graphic novels that touch on moments in American History. Add any or all of these short comics to a Modern History course to see history through a different lens. Young students relate to history better when it is presented from their point of view. Many of these titles can lead to difficult, yet good, conversations about race, alcoholism, and war. If you have a reluctant reader or want to add informative and engaging reading options to your history studies, History Comics are a great place to start! ~Rebecca
