hi
I am trying to remember some books i read in elementary school as my niece is a great age for them. What I do recall is that is was told from the point of view of a young girl, she and her family were migrant workers in the dust bowl. Her mother would make them flour sack dresses. Also had a part where she described the cotton they would pick. I can't remember much more but it's driving my crazy i cant find it. If i remember more details i will add them. Thank you!!
