*** LARGE PRINT EDITION ***

Take a look at life in the early 20th century through the eyes of a young boy. A natural storyteller, Bud shares tales of his childhood days in rural Missouri. The close-knit farming community where Bud lived with his parents and seven siblings stuck together and helped each other in order to survive.

Born in 1917, Bud grew up on a farm in the middle of America. He describes the old-fashioned ways of those days, including sewing clothing from flour sacks, making baseballs from balls of string, and riding horses to school. Taught the importance of hard work by his parents, Bud develops his own can-do attitude.

Despite many hardships and few luxuries, Bud grows up surrounded by love and optimism. He learns at a young age to take responsibility, respect others, and look to the future with hope. His quaint memoir has charming illustrations and artwork to complement the stories.

Bud’s colorful anecdotes were originally written as a way to share the story of his life with his extended family. Now his tales of childhood in the early 1900s are available for all to enjoy.
