| "When
one door of happiness closes, another opens;
but
often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one
which has been opened for us."

Bud,
Not Buddy Ten-year-old Bud's roots grow strong through the wisdom he remembers from his mother and through the "rules and things" that he creates during harrowing challenges he encounters as a foster child. When he decides to take wing to find his father, he discovers his courage, perseverance, creativity, and compassion provide the strength to go forward. * This is the most profound piece of historical fiction literature of The Great Depression available. It will be laugh-out-loud funny on one page and then touching, frightening, sad, hopeful and back to laugh-out-loud funny on the next. It puts a precious face on the Great Depression that your students will never forget. The classroom literature guide is now available in Kids' Wings' Great Depression Literature download, and in the awesome Kids' Wings Roots and Wings collection of literature units.
