Homemade by Celeste Beauperthuy

On St. Martin in the 1940s and 1950s, store-bought toys were not available on the island. Instead, kids made their own toys and games from the materials they had available to them. Celeste Rollin Beauperthuy illustrated these toys and described how they are made. This book also contains interviews with Celeste and others about the toys and the times they had.
