Johnny Tremain Paper By: Jules Woodward When Johnny Tremain was written in 1943, thousands of U.S. servicemen and women had already died in World War II, and unfortunately thousands more would die by the time the war ended in 1945.

I think there are multiple reasons why she could have done this, but the prominent one to me is that one of the messages I saw in this book, was a thought of “Instead of hating Great Britain, remember that we wouldn’t be who we are today without them, even if we did have to break away from them.”

1. The process I went through as I created my ABC book was I thought a lot about things I liked that started with each letter in the alphabet. I wrote the letters A to Z on a piece of paper and then thought about something that started with each letter that had something to do with my life and who I am. I also made sure that it was all something appropriate for a young child to read so that I can share it with them to help them get to know me better. I illustrated my book by taking pictures of the things I talked about for each letter in my ABC book.
