This gripping graphic novel augments pen-and-ink artwork in subdued tones of brown and yellow with explanations of what caused the Dust Bowl and the disaster's long-term effects on the land, people, and economy.
Plunging readers into the bleakness of the era and the extent of the tragedy, the book makes immediate what it was like to be in the midst of the Dust Bowl: skies darkening as dust obscured the sun, the infamous "black blizzards" where sand and dirt fell like snow, and people getting lost in the gloom and suffocating as the particles choked off their lungs.
