It was there he milked cows, raised sheep, and heard stories about the past that are brought to life in this read-aloud picture book for young children. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn that long-ago time, the biggest celebration of the year was the July Fourth celebration in Danbury, New Hampshire--complete with flags, marching bands, speeches, and ice cream. A trip to Boston, where toys could be bought for a penny apiece, was a major event. This is a piece of Americana that will bring readers--and listeners--back to a simpler time when pleasure came from making as much as buying, where politics were truly local, and when worth was determined by character, not price. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePublished in the same format and with the same delightful handcolored scratchboard illustrations by Michael McCurdy as Donald Hall's \u003ci\u003eLucy's Christmas\u003c\/i\u003e, this is a wonderful way to share old-time summer traditions and history with your child.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-140386\"\u003eDonald Hall\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e David R.
