In the third book following the Newbery Honor-winning 26 Fairmount Avenue, Tomie takes us back to his childhood once more, enchanting readers with more of his warm and funny stories. Whether he's starring in the dance recital, praying for his brand-new baby sister to get over pneumonia, placing his hands in the wet cement to make his mark in the sidewalk forever, or finally learning to read, Tomie dePaola proves to be as winning a storyteller in the chapter-book format as he has been for so long with his beloved picture books. In this third set of delightful adventures the dePaola family continues to welcome readers of all ages into their home.

The War Years

Another chapter in the author's autobiography describes his time as a child in Connecticut during World War II, discussing how he dealt with the war while trying to learn arithmetic and improve his penmanship.

First-grader Tomie experiences uncertainty in the weeks following the attack on Pearl Harbor, December 7, 1941. What are the grown-ups talking quietly about at home and even at school? Why does his class have to go to the spooky furnace room for an air raid drill? Why does the family hang thick black curtains on the windows? Tomie's mother is there to comfort and explain the confusion, and Tomie feels better. But he's still scared.

Normal, everyday activities such as Tomie's first music lesson, dance class and Christmas shopping with Dad go on as usual, but the day-to-day effects of the war are always there.

An emotionally strong addition to an award-winning series.

In this gorgeous and contemplative New York Times bestselling picture book, legendary author-illustrator Tomie dePaola reminds us that mindfulness—being quiet, still, and present with one another—is a very special thing. Everything is in such a hurry, busy as busy can be. The birds are flying so fast, the dragonfly is zooming over the water—even the trees are waving their leaves. So what if we sit here, you next to me…and we can just be?
