An abandoned Connecticut farm was recently purchased and new folks are moving in. “New Folks comin’, oh my!” is the cry amongst the animal community. With this in the back of my head, I picked up Rabbit Hill and was pleasantly shocked with how Lawson addressed these concerns head-on while still appealing to a youthful audience. Post-Great Depression and Post-War, life is not returning to what it was and American citizens were afraid for their future. The armed forces are integrating back into life in the States.
P ublished in 1944, in the waning days of World War II, Lawson’s seemingly idyllic children’s book is obviously a product of that time.The Allies have agreed to help rebuild Europe.
On my quest to read all the Newbery award winners I have picked up Rabbit Hill by Robert Lawson.
