Prairie Days by Patricia MacLachlan illustrated by Micha Archer*

 Stunning artwork! (collage, homemade stamps etc)

Mrs. MacLachlan describes a day on the prairie with poetic language.  I wanted to participate in their daily life!  Word choice is exact and utilizes senses.

I spent a long time studying the art on each page and appreciating the language.  Definitely a book to linger over!  I love how oversized it is (maybe a nod to the opening sentence that describes the largeness of the sky on the prairie??) and how the sky is depicted on almost every single page!

* Highly recommend.

-Borrowed from the library.
