What to expect
ALA Notable Children's Books • Kansas NEA Reading Circle List Primary Title • Bank Street Best Children's Book of the Year Selection Title
A delicate, stunning account of life on the prairie from Newbery medalist Patricia MacLachlan.
Cool summer mornings begin with the rose orange sun and the smell of earth, and fade into hot summer nights with a yellow moon, covered in a quilt of stars. There are wagon rides, farm dogs, trips into town, and games of kick the can. These are prairie days.
Patricia MacLachlan applies her lyrical, sparse voice to transport readers to the prairie of her youth in this stunning celebration of the beauty in the world.
"In sparse, lyrical prose, Newbery medalist MacLachlan extols the prairies of eastern Wyoming (circa the 1940s), where she was born. … Nostalgic, yet filled with timeless experiences."—Booklist
