Newbery winner MacLachlan depicts days gone by and harkens readers back to much simpler times (Wyoming, 1940s) when the sky was big, life was slow, families were close, dogs slept on front porches and horses grazed in nearby fields. Farm life as the author remembers it is tranquil and lovely.
Mixed media illustrations done in ink, acrylic, tissue paper and origami create a unique texture in the art by Micha Archer. This little picture book could win it all!
Heartfelt, lyrical prose capture moments in time and childhood bliss. Every childhood should have memories of complete happiness!
Highly, highly recommended. Prairie Days is the most beautiful picture book of 2020!
