Cimarron Girl: The Dust Bowl Years of Abigail Brubaker - Mike Blanc

Cimarron Girl, The Dust Bowl Years of Abigail Brubaker by Mike Blanc is an interesting book for children ages seven to ten years about the drought & a family's experience. I gave it five stars.

 

Abby learns some hard lessons about life's changes when the drought strikes their farm in Oklahoma. The crops didn't make it & they were almost broke. Like many others they traveled to California for a fresh start. On the way, she heard the term "Okies" used as a pejorative. She decided then to tell people she was from Cimarron.

 

I received a complimentary copy from Vanita Books & NetGalley. That did not change my opinion for this review.
