Her gift is not one of wealth... This story takes the form of a modern day legend infused with an air of mystery. A woman who has lost everything, and initially feels like a shadow of her former self, discovers that she still has something to give. Aimed at higher achieving pupils around 10 to 12 years old, 'Riches in Words: The Great Depression, 1929-1939' is part of a powerful, yet unusual, series of children's picture books. The stark black pages with sparse white writing are interspersed with occasional poignant photographic images. Each story in the 'In Words' series comes with a list of possible tasks in order to increase children's engagement with literature and help to develop inference, analytical skills, evaluative processes and the ability to critically compare. Use this text to teach about legend writing, storytelling and understanding historical or social contexts of stories.
