For the Duration

(3) K-3 26 Fairmount Avenue Book series. Tomie grieves his cousin, shot down in the war. His sadness remains, but life goes on while preparing for his role as a tap-dancing King Neptune (some teasing is involved) and for his First Holy Communion. Meanwhile, rations are imposed, with everyone making sacrifices "for the duration." Spot art and half-page illustrations along with excerpts from Tomie's diary add to the period homeyness.
