About this title

From the Inside Flap

I brushed a stray bit of milkweed fluff from Chris's hat. "Have yourself a wunnerbaar-gut day," I said, proud to see him off for his first day.

He turned and gave me the dearest smile. "See ya after school," he called in return. Twice more he looked back, waving each time as though I might disappear from sight.

Standing there, I watched Chris fall into step with our brothers. All of them hugged the side of the road, bobbing along as they picked up their pace.

Ach, the moment was bittersweet. Even so, I trusted that he'd do well now that he, too, was one of the big kids.

Mamma had hated having to miss seeing Chris off today, but I'd promised to tell her all about Chris's morning once she and Dat arrived home this afternoon. Oh, I could hardly wait to share Chris's joy with her . . . despite my own mixed feelings.

Mamma will understand. She's been through this ten times now!|BEVERLY LEWIS penned her first story at age nine while living near Lancaster County Amish farmland, where she grew up.
