In this story about how the plains of the American prairie became dust, Egan talked about an amazing story and stimulated a myriad of "black snowstorms" like the plague of the Bible. Clouds are flying in the sky and are rolling like mountains called "dust bowls". However, the plague is artificial, as Egan said: plain is not suitable for planting, planting grass wheat, with economic disaster - Great depression and natural disasters - 8 years drought - , Led to ecological disasters and human disasters, and Egan was explained in detail with amazing specificity. Patient Americans and immigrants call themselves urgently and require a piece of land to be tempted by the lies of promoters saying that the ground can be cultivated. Just because her baby died of "dusty pneumonia" when her lungs were blocked by dirt in the air, the birth of the disease. Thanks to Sinclair Lewis and Steinbeck's novels and Egan's powerful writing, these characters appear to have appeared and this story will remain in the minds of the reader for a long time. 14th)

It is a person. A beautiful book design and a small and distinct freehand style will help the reader to understand the elegant structure and diversity of these creatures. The deep and bright tone of the torn cut paper collage illustration set each of the unique pattern and color of the beetle to a relaxed margin. Just a few |
