What Parents Need to Know
About Meet Kit: An American Girl 1934
Parents need to know that this is a tale of a family adapting to Dad's job loss during the Great Depression. There is a clear, age-appropriate description of why the economy is suffering and frank depictions via photographs and dialog of the effects of the national financial downturn. A sickly boy is treated with derision but proves hardier than he seems. In 1930s America, fathers work and mothers stay home.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about how the Great Depression of the 1930s is similar to the current economic situation, and how it differs. Do any of your relatives have memories of life during the Depression? How do you think you would cope if your parents took in boarders to earn extra money?
