They Were Strong and Good by Robert Lawson

They Were Strong and They Were Good, winner of the 1941 Caldecott Medal, tells the story of Robert Lawson’s ancestors woven into the larger tapestry of American history. Through his forefathers we weather Caribbean storms, wander bustling New York markets, and endure the trials of the Civil War. It is both a family story and a portrait of a growing nation, reminding us that strength and goodness can be just as meaningful as fame. This classic book is a tender tribute to ordinary lives that built the foundation of the country we know today.

Caldecott Award Winning Book.
