Summary: beautiful stories and pictures
Review: I found this book by accident and it caught my eye since I grew up in Nebraska. I bought it for Christmas presents and read it to my grandchildren on tape so they could hear Grandma telling them about her childhood which was so different from their own. This has been a main stay present for everyone in my family!

Summary: I'll say a little Prairie for you
Review: I loved this seminal work from some of Canada's finest poets, and for me, the opening stanza sums up just what is right about the work of Bouchard."Oh elephant, your nose is long,
Do you not think that it is wrong?" Stunning.

Summary: Beautiful book for children and adults!
Review: This is a wonderfully warm and inviting depiction of the plains region. For those of us who are from the prairie, the book stirs appreciation and love for the land that has helped shape us. For those who are not from the prairie, the author offers a viewpoint that helps in understanding the beauty of the land and the people of the plains.

Summary: Great for teachers in South Dakota!
Review: This is an awesome book! Coming from Eastern South Dakota (plains) it is just so perfect! I taught a lesson to students (4th grade) who live in Western South Dakota (the Black Hills) and we compared the two regions of South Dakota. We then wrote a poem that used the author's structure as a guide. We entitled the poem "If you're not from the Black Hills..." It went over great and the kids loved it! It also correlates to 4 state standards and probably many more! This book made me cry! Awesome!
