Picture Book
A young girl visits a little old house in the country for the summer. They are living a simple life with no running water and eating food from the land. She makes friends with some animals and neighbors down the road. Soon the seasons change and the young girl begs to stay but the family must leave. They go on a long road trip across country but where will they stop?
Will the young girl make new friends at her new home?
The illustrations in this book are very bright and vibrant chalk pastels that fill up each page.
I chose Social Studies as my content area and Kindergarten as my grade. I would incorporate this book into my lesson on how everyday life has both changed and remained the same. I would have the children draw a picture of their life and compare it to the young girl's life in the country.
