Summary:
A young boy talks about all his favorite places, those of his family and his grandparents, the farm, and the adjacent countryside. The book is a celebration of those natural settings where we are most alive and feel we belong.
Teaching Ideas:
One teacher of ESL found her students reading and rereading this book and in response asked them to write about their own lands and family homes. The book may serve as a good stimulus for gathering adults' recollections of their own childhoods. It may be part of a unit on community and place, for example, with Lee's Lotus Seed, with Say's Grandfather's Journey, or with Rylant's Appalachia: Voices of Sleeping Birds.
