Told in free verse, a child contemplates leaving the farm where the family has lived for a long time. The fear of leaving and the fear of forgetting what is so familiar now is perfectly described as the child thinks of all of the aspects of home that will be missed. Lovely simple language that goes deep into the feelings of what "home" means.

Beautiful engravings and equally beautiful text tell the story of a child whose family is moving from the prairie. The child (and the reader) don't understand why they're moving and thinks s/he might stay put. Instead, s/he's convinced that his or her little brother will need him/her to tell the sibling about the prairie.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0064434923, Paperback)

‘A child comes to terms with the fact that she and her family are leaving the prairie. . . . As she talks herself into acceptance, her Mama helps her let go, commenting that the baby will need someone to tell him where he came from. So the girl gathers mementoes—a bag of earth and a piece of cottonwood tree. . . .A novel hides in these few pages. As with Sarah, Plain and Tall, the subext vibrates. So much is told in each perfectly chosen phrase. The story is deep and specific, but the pain and denial of a child leaving a known and loved place is all too universal. Moser’s finely-wrought engravings, enhanced by moody tints, record the departure.’—SLJ.

1995 "Pick of the Lists" (ABA)
