Children's literature book cover
Description
Children's picture book about a girl who tends a victory garden in her neighbor's yard because the wife is too sick to work in the garden. Children's literature is one of the most prominent ways that the World War II victory garden is remembered in the post-World War II era. It provides a safe way for authors to introduce children to the Second World War. In addition, it carries on the memory of the victory garden, which emphasizes the important ideological role that gardens played on the American home front.
