Florence's husband Sam was a coal miner in Kentucky. Miners went on strike until they could get better pay, safer working conditions, and health care. The company hired thugs to attack the organizers like Sam Reece. Writer George Ella Lyon tells this hair-raising story through the eyes of one of Florence's daughters, a dry-witted pig-tailed gal, whose vantage point is from under the bed with her six brothers and sisters. The thugs' bullets hit the thin doors and windows of the company house, the kids lying low wonder whether they're going to make it out of this alive, wonder exactly if this strike will make their lives better or end them, but their mother keeps scribbling and singing. "We need a song," she tells her kids. That's not at all what they think they need"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Reece, Florence, $d 1900-1986 $v Juvenile picture books. 650 0 $a Miners $v Juvenile picture books. 650 0 $a Labor unions $v Juvenile picture books. 651 0 $a Kentucky $x History $v Juvenile picture books. 700 1 $a Cardinale, Christopher, $e ill. 941 $a 4 952 $l CMPE792 $d 20230629012230.0 952 $l DPPE403 $d 20220401011649.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20190814034457.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20160202064606.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8BA2A7C4223311E1A2476B8A6AFF544EInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
