Pop’s Bridge by Eve Bunting is our Journey’s story for the week. This is a story about the building of the Golden Gate Bridge. Robert is a boy who has a father, Pop, that is working to build the bridge. Robert has faith that his father can do it even when many do not believe it is possible. His father is a high-iron man and works so high up that he is called a skywalker. The boy is so proud of his dad and the job that he loves. When the bridge is almost finished, there is a terrible accident on the bridge. Luckily his dad and his friend’s dad were safe, but 10 of the 12 workers that were a part of the accident died. The book shows the boy experience this part of history and really appreciate all the people that were involved.
