This book is a story of Sally Jane's experience of changing times in rural America, as she lives through the drowning of the Swift River towns in western Massachusetts to form the Quabbin Reservoir.

The town of Boston is in great need of the water and they pay to get the water. Throughout the book they start taking down the town to get the water for the town of Boston. The little girl is trying to remember the town while riding in a boat with her papa. Very detailed picture book 4 1/2 - I grabbed this up at the thrift store as I absolutely love Barbara Cooney's folk art illustrations of historic Americana. The story is wonderful, I love picture books that teach and open a child's eyes to a subject, little glimpses of history for example. The destruction of seven towns to create a reservoir and the process involved and emotions felt by the people is a fabulous example. I think O found it very interesting. Someday when she sees the massive Hover Damn she might think back to this story. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
