About the Book:
My backyard is where we play and learn, but it wasn’t always my backyard…
Hit rewind on the view out your backdoor as this story zips back in time, showing readers how people, lifestyles, and land have changed over time. My Backyard Used to Be makes history feel current and accessible to young readers—and encourages them to discover what their own backyard used to be.
