Summary: This story of hope is set in the Great Depression. Pavel and his friend Anatoly, Jewish immigrants from Russia to the United States, need work. The rabbi tells Pavel about jobs planting trees with the Civilian Conservation Corps. Pavel and Anatoly travel to Idaho and join a work crew. Though some other Corps members say they don’t belong, Pavel and Anatoly work hard. In addition to their conservation work, they learn the national anthem and proudly show everyone they are Americans, too. (Miller Library Staff)Summary: "As they plant trees and do other environmental projects for the Civilian Conservation Corps, Russian immigrants Pavel and Anatoly are happy to find employment during the Great Depression, but when other workers accuse them of not being "real Americans," Pavel and Anatoly learn the words to the Star Spangled Banner, newly designated by Congress as the national anthem."
