A fave. If you look at this poem sideways, the lines are the piano keys. 🎹

#OOTD (Day 3) If you want to read this narrative poem and follow along, look for the #OOTD hashtag for the previous poems. 🧡💜💛

Cuilin I guess I need to add this book to my Goodreads so that I can count it in the total number of books I‘ve read this year. 💛 4d
dabbe @Cuilin YAY! 💛💜🧡 4d

Gonna try something different. This book is in my top five faves of ALL TIME. It's a narrative book of poetry that takes place during the Dust Bowl. If interested, read along. I don't see how you won't fall in love with Billie Jo. By the time I stop posting, you'll have read another book for those of you who keep track of that stuff. #winwin #ifyouwant

The book follows Elsa who lives on the great plains with her family and zones into the migrant experience of this particular environmental disaster.
I didn't know about the dust bowl and while I didn't feel any real bond with the characters, I was really interested in the events in both Texas and the migration to California. The government's response, action and the Communist movement really did draw me in.

This was okay, but not great. I wanted to like the characters, but I never fully got there.

25-5. A little slow to start, but by the half-way point I couldn‘t put it down. I learned a lot about the Dust Bowl and Okies and California work camps 🤯.
