Growing Up on a Bush Homestead: Pioneer Life as Seen From the Eyes of the Children - Ewanchuck, Michael

Clean, tight, unmarked; wear to upper back edge of cover; sticker inside back cover; otherwise very minimal wear; appears unread; In this book, you can go back into the time when there wasn't much money, but the family farm provided food and activities that were part of 'normal' growing up. Learning about nature, building your English skills, having fun when work was a little less hectic - all were parts of a child's life. We often hear of the long walk to get some learning in crowded small schools, of coping with the school bully, the tattletale, and the unsympathetic teacher. There are triumphs of finding new baby birds, of fresh summer fruit, and the camaraderie of brothers and sisters. Life was heard, but the comfort of family, books, neighbours, and new things to learn each year kept children moving purposefully into adulthood. Such are the tales Michael Ewanchuk. - from the Foreword
