CBC Showcase: Learning about Families
In this collection of poems, author Linda Oatman High invites young readers to experience a year in the lives of Plain People people in the Amish and Mennonite communities of Pennsylvania Dutch Country.
by Linda Oatman High, illustrated by Bill Farnsworth
Each season brings its own joys and challenges—new lambs in the spring, the planting and harvesting of summer and fall, the cold and coziness of winter. Yet it is the Plain People's trust in God and vision for how they should live that make their lives rich and satisfying.
Beautifully illustrated by Bill Farnsworth, A Humble Life captures with warmth and appreciation the way of life and community strength of these unique groups of people.
