Summary:
A young girl recounts her family history passed down to her through stories and family artifacts of remarkable, ordinary women. Each of the seven women who lived at the time of a war "made history by not fighting in wars."
Teaching Ideas:
Teachers will want to introduce this charming, beautifully illustrated book to stimulate discussion and writing on family history, perhaps using a copy change strategy. Because each woman lived at the time of a particular war, teachers may want to promote historical research with timelines and map activities to see how people lived.
