Description: HI, BARNEY! - Marie McSwigan (1946 Hardcover) This is a somewhat dated story of a friendly boy's adjustment to life in his grandmother's house in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania toward the end of World War II. Barney's father is an R.A.F. flyer while his mother is doing her part in Washington. Barney's loneliness disappears as he makes friends with the children of the neighborhood in Pittsburgh. The story delicately addresses the thorny issue of race relations at a time (post World War II) when such things "just weren't done." The boy's happiness is complete when his father returns from the war to confront the skeptical schoolmates who never believed Barney's stories of his hero father.
