Annotation

Do you wonder what it was like to be young and living in a coal camp? You probably never thought about it!Children living in 1900 did not have running water or indoor plumbing. There were no computers, cell phones, or iPads. What did they do? How did they survive?As you read Stories from the Arroyos, you will be taken back in time. You will learn how children worked, played, and dreamed. You will discover history and learn cultural differences. You will read about sympathy, caring, and trusting. Come, walk with me into the past and spend some time visiting the children, ages seven to thirteen. If you are this age now, you will enjoy these stories. So lets take a walk into the arroyos and see what was left behind and what it all meant to the children of that era. Some things never changelike imagination, dreams, and hope.
