Before Sarah arrives, Anna and her younger brother Caleb wait and wonder. Will Sarah be nice? Will she sing? Will she stay?</p><p>This children's literature classic is perfect for fans of Laura Ingalls Wilder's Little House on the Prairie books, historical fiction, and timeless stories using rich and beautiful language, and it's a strong choice for independent reading. <em>Sarah, Plain and Tall</em> gently explores themes of abandonment, loss, and love. </p><p>Read the rest of the Sarah books by Patricia MacLachlan: <em>Skylark, Caleb's Story, More Perfect than the Moon</em>, and <em>Grandfather's Dance</em>.<br/></p><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><p>Did Mama sing every day? Caleb asks his sister Anna.Every-single-day, she answers. Papa too.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"In a near-perfect miniature novel, two children experience the apprehensions and joys of the possibility of a new mother, when their father invites a mail-order bride to their prairie home." -- "BL.""An exquisite, sometimes painfully touching tale."-- "The New York Times"A book that is filed with wisdom, gentle humor and the practical concerns necessary for a satisfying life. Terse writing and poetic rhythm flow to create a tender story about the fragile beginnings of a family relationship on its way to permanence."-- "School Library Jornal<br>
