Description
Though written for the author's own parents, this book is a fine tribute to all of the early mothers and fathers in America. While most of them did not become great or famous, many of them were strong and good and lived a hard life, raising children and doing the best they could. Accompanied by wonderfully detailed black and white illustrations, this is a simply written, moving book. hc.
Publisher's Description of They Were Strong and Good
Awarded the Caldecott Medal in 1941, They Were Strong and Good is a classic book that follows the path of one family’s journey through American history. Robert Lawson introduces us to his forefathers and with them we brave Caribbean storms, travel to the wharf markets of New York, and fight in the Civil War. Amidst these adventures Lawson’s grandparents meet, marry, and raise a family, and later his parents follow the same cycle of life. But this book is more than just the story of one family, it’s a social history of our country. It reminds us to be proud of our ancestors—who they were, what they did, and the effect that they had on the nation we live in today.
