## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Great children's book
  

*by G***M on Reviewed in the United States on November 22, 2019*

Great book for kids and a great message regarding the individual contributions of ordinary people whose lives were not characterized by affluence or fame. I'd disregard the criticisms by those obsessed with political correctness, as the author at times illustrates his own ancestors in a manner that is as unflattering as the depictions of other characters in the book. The illustrations are, as one would expect from Lawson, excellent. The author clearly has a sense of humor, as should the reader. My kids loved it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Geneaology for Even the Youngest
  

*by G***A on Reviewed in the United States on June 7, 2012*

"They were Strong and Good" was purchased because of a nostalgic memory from my early years reading this Caldecott Award Winner and wanting to introduce the joy of learning about your family tree to my elementary students. It is cleverly written to demonstrate the ties among ancestors by introducing vignettes. The author did not overdo the details but added enough characterization to create an attachment. The repetitive title is used throughout and is the perfect connection for all of us to the generations that went before us. Most of us had relatives that were not famous and rich, "but they were strong and good" people. Knowing our ancestory provides us that link that helps us know ourselves. The illustrations add a vintage flavor to the book.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Inspire a quest of family history...
  

*by K***Z on Reviewed in the United States on October 4, 2015*

What a coincidence; I happened to come across this book just after embarking on researching my own family tree. I picked it up, thinking it might give my kids a better idea of what a family history was. They liked it, I liked it. Interesting and inspiring. The author’s ancestors may not have been perfect, but he doesn’t apologize for them or rewrite their lives. He simply tells who they were and what they did. History is what it is. Admire the good and learn from the bad. The illustrations are great too. If you want to get your kids interested in personal family history, this may do the trick.
