The Day of the Black Blizzard

48 pp. | Millbrook | February, 2009 | Library ISBN 978-0-8225-7895-6 $25.26
(4) 1-3 On My Own History series. Illustrated by Laurie Harden. Ten-year-old Orry Jenkins and his younger stepsister, Mildred, nearly suffocate when they're caught in the Black Sunday dust storm of 1935. This simply told story, which introduces independent readers to the Dust Bowl, conveys the storm's intensity and destruction. Harden's stiff illustrations look oddly dated. An author's note and afterword provide more historical background. Bib.
