Lessons from Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel
This weekend we continue our Children's Literature series looking at Mike Mulligan and his Steam Shovel. Virginia Lee Burton wrote this beloved story in 1939, when the United States was still trying to find a way out of the Great Depression. On this Labor day weekend, we celebrate a story about a working class man and a steam shovel which reminds us of the "can do" spirit that lives even in a changing world.
