Product Description
(A Newbery Honor Book)"Did Mama sing every day?" Caleb asks his sister Anna. "Every-single-day," she answers. Papa sang, too. Their mother died after Caleb was born. Their house on the prairie is quiet now, and Papa doesn't sing anymore. Then Papa puts an ad in the paper, asking for a wife, and he receives a letter from one: Sarah Elisabeth Wheaton, of Maine. Papa, Ana, and Caleb write back. Caleb asks if she sings. Sarah decides to come for a month. She writes Papa: "I will come by train. I will wear a yellow bonnet. I am plain and tall, and Tell them I sing." Anna and Caleb wait and wonder. Will Sarah be nice? Will she like them? Will she stay?
"An exquisite, sometimes painfully touching little tale ... The story closes on a scene of love and harmony made more complicated, but not diminished, by past sorrows. This gentle book cannot fail to touch readers." - New York Times Book Review.
For ages 8 to 11.
