Synopsis

A wooden toy horse, passed from child to child, introduces us to ten children who lived in ten different decades and different parts of Washington state. Starting with an 11-year-old on an 1890s wheat farm, this book describes the everyday life of a Native American girl sent away to boarding school, a logger's son who conquers his fear of heights, a polio victim who meets President Franklin Delano Roosevelt and a Laotion immigrant settling into an American school. Includes a glossary of ethic and historical terms. A useful supplement to standard Washington state history texts.

About this title

Review:

"History the way I always felt it should be taught--so that it is clearly about people. Children of today can identify with the children of long-age, and care about how they were affected by the events of history."

"Enduring themes of childhood--fears, friends, and family--bring history closer to today's children."

Synopsis:

A collection of children's stories about horses.
