Reviews
Grade 1-4-This glowing collaboration celebrates a way of life that has all but disappeared in much of the modern world. In rhythmic verse, young Bess tells of reaping the season's wheat at the end of a bountiful summer of planting. The work is hard and the heat is relentless, but the family forges ahead, anticipating the end of their labors and the celebratory meal for all of the friends and family who have helped with "Bringing the harvest home." The book concludes with a brief summary of harvest customs around the world and simple instructions for fashioning a harvest doll. Shed's sun-kissed, gouache-on-canvas illustrations, filling almost three-quarters of each spread, are a fine and fitting accompaniment to Yolen's text. A reflective and respectful tribute to a bygone era.
