Editorial Reviews
School Library Journal,
12/1/2001
"Emma Bartoletti, the 12-year-old daughter of Italian immigrants, lives in North Adams, MA. She has badgered her Aunt Dora with so many questions about the Depression that her aunt tells her to write to President Franklin D. Roosevelt and ask him why things are so hard for everyone. So begins a fictional three-year correspondence between Emmma and the president... The correspondence provides an easily understoond explanation of the times. The text is enhanced by black-and-white period photographs, political cartoons, and posters...The correspondence is followed by a 17-page biography of FDR and time...a short history of the post office during the Depression years, and an author's note on some related events in North Adams, MA."
