    “Book Descriptions: Illus. with photographs from the Dust Bowl era. This true story took place

    at the emergency farm-labor camp immortalized in Steinbeck's The Grapes of

    Wrath. Ostracized as "dumb Okies," the children of Dust Bowl migrant

    laborers went without school--until Superintendent Leo Hart and 50 Okie kids

    built their own school in a nearby field. "The story is inspiring, and Stanley

    has recorded the details with passion and dignity. An excellent curriculum

    item."--(starred) Booklist.
