"Children" is the masterpiece of the American writer Ted Ching. In this book, the author tells about the fate of a group of children who found themselves at the center of events during the Great Depression. The main characters, each with their own unique story, solve their own problems and find their place in a world where there is no place for the weak. In this book, Ching undertook the important task of revealing all aspects of childhood in difficult times, showing the emotional wounds that the war with poverty and social injustice leaves in a person. "Children" is a tragic, but at the same time beautiful story about how true heroism can be manifested in the mundane and a person's ability to find light in the midst of darkness.
