| Publisher Description: Searching for the best children's books about growing up? An intimate, powerful memoir of growing up in the Pacific Northwest when it still had the characteristics of a frontier society in a sometimes war zone. From birth on, the author had the support of two dedicated but conflicted parents, transplants from their beloved Spokane to the multi-cultural, economically booming Puget Sound region. His adventures take us from 1939 wartime in a working-class neighborhood in Tacoma to 1960 in Seattle and its preparations for the Seattle World's Fair. He sobers and cheers us with stories of grandparents, peers, adult friends, and teachers. Told with humor, warmth, and insight, Growing Green Two Ways! recaptures the challenges and pleasures of a youth's experiences on the second-to-last American frontier. Buy this book now. |
