Illustrations and simple rhyming text recall life for an African American family on their farm. Life on a farm, from its toils to its pleasures, is described by the young narrator of this story told in lyrical verse and illustrated with splendid watercolor paintings. With barns and bales, fences and flowers, chores and churns, we weather the seasons along with the young narrator. Told from a child's perspective, the story follows a family working together to make a life on the land they hold so dear. Resonating with rural truths, this family's toil and triumph in our country's heartland will strike a chord with readers everywhere. 'Once Upon a Farm' is a place we can all recognize.
