The Dust Bowl

By: Amanda W
Alabama, Grade: 5

I am so scared. The dust bowl has made my family of 8 move to California. We have to get up at dawn and work in the fields. We don't go to bed until dusk. My 6 year old daughter has the most terrible time working with the grapes. It is so sad to think of the other families on worser conditions than us. I hope that we can work this out soon before it is too late for all of us.
