Synopsis
Illustrated in black-and-white. The beauty of the Dakota Territory's wide prairies is captured in this poetic novel about a pioneer family in the 1880s. To ten-year-old Susie, the open skies and vast plains mean limitless freedom and adventure. But in her mother they inspire only longing and loneliness. Recalling her home in Ohio, she has become increasingly reluctant to even set foot outside their sod house. Set during a single day and framed by two magical prairie sunrises, Black-Eyed Susan beautifully evokes the prairie and the lives of the settlers who dared to move there.
