In the same years in which those pictures were taken, Lois Lenski wrote an extraordinary series of childrens books, in which she sought to capture the traditional regional lives and dialects of American children, in her American Regional Series.
Today, the school libraries where I live have discarded most of these for racial and gender stereotyping.
