Finding Daddy: A Story of the Great Depression

Bonnie used to enjoy dancing while her dad played his fiddle.  Now that the Great Depression has set in her father has lost his job, then the house, and all their belongings.  Her father leaves to go find work but Bonnie and her dog go and search for him.  Along the way she finds ways to help her family.  She begins to sing in a café and people put coins in her hat.  She had to help her family.  She finds her dad and she knows things will be better now. I really enjoyed the illustrations in this book it captured the sadness and then the joy at the end through the colors used.
