That's How It Was: Operation Finders Keepers - Paperback

by Katie Risor (Illustrator), Hazel Pacheco (Author)

A slyly funny and heart-warming tribute to childhood as it was way back when! Told in the voice of a ten-year-old boy, this past meets present story celebrates written memories.

Long before dads became parents, they were kids. Ever wonder what your dad was really like those many years ago? Sarah and Melissa get their chance to find out. You see. . . many, many, many years ago, Randy Ray lived with his family, in a farmhouse in the country. Back then, how could he have known that a class assignment would lead to captured moments in time waiting to be discovered by his future family thirty-seven years later!

Much of That's How It Was is told through Randy Ray's letter diaries. His adventures and thoughts on people, animals, and faith are the backdrop as he contemplates whimsical and not-so-whimsical career choices. His letters allow his daughters to get to know the boy who became their father.

So... after homework and chores are done and before suppertime, what happens when a ten-year-old boy is free to explore his world? Read That's How It Was and find out!

Playfully illustrated, That's How It Was will capture the hearts of readers of all ages. Join Sarah and Melissa on a family trip to grandma's house and discover a bit of family treasure. If you enjoyed classics like Little House On The Prairie, you're sure to love That's How It Was.
