Summary: |
Although one OLRC reviewer was concerned that urban readers might not recognize the relevance of this quiet, reflective book, we found this gentle story of a farm child wishing she could make time stand still a lovely celebration of life, of barns and animals, and the connectedness of humans to the earth and to each other. |
Teaching Ideas: |
This book would make a good read aloud or would fit well into several units: farm or rural life (using it with Paulsen's Winter Room or MacLachlan's All the Places to Love or MacLachlan's What You Know First, for example); family stories and storytelling (using it with Paulsen's Winter Room or Yolen's Letting Swift River Go), or with reminiscences (paired with Rylant's Appalachia: Voices of Sleeping Birds). Teachers may want to ask students to read and reread, paying attention to the language and the way the author creates images, then ask students to write their own stories of childhood settings. |
