Freedman, R. (2005). Children of the Great Depression. New York: Clarion Books.
Children of the Great Depression by Russell Freedman is a heart wrenching book with pictures, diaries, letters, and memoirs documenting the time during the Great Depression. The young people were faced with many challenges such as: parents who lost their jobs, having little or no money, having little or no food, terrible dust storms, and closed schools. Even though times were tough, they did try to find some joy in playing their favorite games, listening to their favorite radio stations, or going to the movies. This book would be a great resource to use when studying the Great Depression.
