Book Overview
Chopping wood in the fall, hauling sap buckets in the spring, and weeding, howing, and weeding again in the summer: That is life on a farm in the north. It is also seven months of snow; sloppy, impossible mud season; and hot days of haying. Who would miss growing up in such a place? A love of life and a love of place shines through in Natalie Kinsey-Warnock s richly imagined prose. Illustrated with Mary Azarian s beautiful woodcuts, this book reveals how chores lead straight to the best kind of fun: night-swimming in the pond, skiing off the barn roof, and finding new gray kittens in the haymow with their eyes still closed. And at story s end, readers from cities, towns, and the country will ask themselves, What would we miss most about our home?"
