The Bridge of the Golden Wood: A Parable on How to… von Karl Beckstrand
This is a gentle lesson for children thoughtfully notice the wider world around them and use their thinking abilities to form new ideas and make their own opportunities in life. This is especially good for economics lessons in the primary grades. There are few resources at that level and we often do not teach children about the importance of making and saving money until their economic ideas have already formed. The author has free curriculum to support the book for teachers. At the end of the Kindle version, there are several teaching ideas as well.… (mehr)
This is the fourth story of Karl's Beckstrand's non fiction children's book that I have read. They have all been stories of faith and love of God by these young immigrants. The stories especially touch my heart because I was also a young immigrant girl.
Anna was the sister of Ida and as they separated to go to either a relative or a job, Anna is expecting to be picked up by an aunt at the train station. It's late and no one arrives. It's a beautiful tale of the faith of a young girl. It brought some tears to my eyes as I read it. It's a gentle reminder of who we should always rely on.

I was lucky enough to read Ida's witness, a biography of the author's great-grandmother. It was a sweet and heart-warming story of his immigrant great-grandmother as she struggled through many hardships in her youth. As she finds the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, she shares of her conversion and her testimony of her new found religion.
The story is very sweet and children will learn of the struggles of the earlier generations and how they are both different and similar to those of the struggles we deal with today. And how despite their hardships, made a good life for their families and descendants.
It's a beautiful story and full of faith and trust in God.

Loved this book of Samuel, an immigrant boy and his early life, his travels to America and the story of his family and their love for one another. The book shows beautiful historical photos and even some interesting documents! All of this was loved by the professional genealogist in me. I think it is so important for children to learn of their ancestors and the struggles that they dealt with to help their families enjoy a better life, serving their Church and God as they desire.
This is a great teaching book for children and even enjoyable for adults.
