During the Depression, Hannah’s family moved to a small mining town in northern Minnesota to find work.  Her class at school was having a picnic on Saturday, but being Jewish, Hannah was not allowed to travel on the Sabbath, the Orthodox Jewish day of rest.  Being new, Hannah did not know how, or who, to tell she could not go.  When Hannah finally confided her dilemma to her teacher, she was heartened to find every classmate agreed to walk to the picnic with her.  This story was inspired by an account author Linda Glaser read about Minnesota history.  Adam Gustavson’s detailed oil paintings beautifully depict this time in history as well as fashions and styles in a rural mid-west town.  This is a touching story about unexpected kindness as well as a snapshot of life during a difficult era.
