Home in the Woods by Eliza Wheeler*

I loved this book about resilience and hope.
Told from the point of view of Marvel, she shares how her family had to move into a tar paper shack in the woods after their father dies in 1932.  The mother and her eight children manage to survive on the resources around them. 
Beautifully written and illustrated.
The story is inspired by Ms. Wheeler's grandmother Marvel's childhood.
*Highly recommend.
