Description/Notes
Growing up in the mountains is special. Each pleasure is one to share--and remember. And each is part of a gentle story, illuminated with perceptively happy paintings that evoke the love of a way of life, of a family, and most of all, of a place. Full-color illustrations. Two children live with their grandparents in this story of poverty in Appalachia. For twenty years, Cynthia Rylant's story of childhood in the Appalachian Mountains has been an enduring favorite. Growing up in the mountains is depicted with a spare, lyrical text and beautiful, tender illustrations by Diane Goode. The book was awarded a Caldecott Honor Medal. To celebrate its twentieth anniversary, When I Was Young in the Mountains is being released with a commemorative copper-colored band.
