Alright, for my children's story on life in New France. This is what I have so far.
---------------------------------------
Little Jon-Jon was exploring his backyard.
He saw a tunnel that wasn't there before.
He crawled right in....
...and came out the other side.
He was in a land he'd never seen.
Farmers galore were what he saw.
They were busy harvesting greens.
Little Jon-Jon saw a house nearby.
And curious as his mind was.
He went straight in.
The house was small with only one room.
Sleeping mats littered the floor.
After awhile, he got very bored.
He left the unknown land...
...and went back to home.
Crawled into bed and slept.
---------------------------------------
I talked about the farmers, and houses. What else should I talk about. Should I talk about their clothing?
Thank you very much!!
Frankly, I think you're on the wrong track.
Although I suspect that you intended that Jon-Jon is a modern child who went back in time to New France, you haven't made that clear -- certainly not to a young child.
I suggest you start something like this:
Jacques and Marie live on a farm in New France. They are 9-year-old twins. In the fall Jacques likes helping his father pick the apples in their orchard. But he hates picking picking peas. Marie stays in the house and helps her mother with the little children.
