About This Item
Boston: Houghton Mifflin, 2001. 1st . Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. Debby Attwel. Hardcover in a bright dust jacket.Color illustrations by Atwell. Debby Atwell does a lovely job of conveying the sweep of history. The book's two narrative threads--the histories of the United States and of six generations of Pearl's family--intertwine neatly. The pictures are a delight, and their folk art style lends a nice sense of continuity to the book. Record # 302320
Synopsis
Pearl is the story of a little girl who recounts her family’s ups and downs, each moment defined by a historical landmark, from the inauguration of George Washington through the hardship of the Civil War to the Wright brothers’ first flight to the Great Depression and eventually a walk on the moon. Evocative paintings beautifully capture the essence of the United States.
