First-grader Tomie experiences uncertainty in the weeks following the attack on Pearl Harbor, December 7, 1941. What are the grown-ups talking quietly about at home and even at school? Why does his class have to go to the spooky furnace room for an air raid drill? Why does the family hang thick black curtains on the windows? Tomie's mother is there to comfort and explain the confusion, and Tomie feels better. But he's still scared.
Normal, everyday activities such as Tomie's first music lesson, dance class and Christmas shopping with Dad go on as usual, but the day-to-day effects of the war are always there.
An emotionally strong addition to an award-winning series.

I'm Still Scared (26 Fairmount Avenue Series)
I continue to be impressed with Tomie dePaola's detailed memories of his childhood. I was interested to learn in his note at the end that he had some help from home movies that his parents took. Still, the level of detail shown in this series is impressive - and even more so because they are simply and clearly written and perfect for young children. It's as if he is able to completely put himself back into the role of young Tomie.
This book is particularly powerful because it takes place from the time that the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor to the end of that year - which I believe is the shortest time span of any in the series so far. I loved how many of the adults in Tomie's life helped him to understand what was going on and feel a little better, even though, as he says in the title, he was still scared. And yet it isn't all dark. There is some humor here as well.
