K-3I Can Read Book series.
The journey begun in The Long Way to a New Land and continued in The Long Way Westward culminates in Minnesota for Swedish immigrant Carl Erik and his parents. Hard work and the presence of close-knit family, rendered affectionately in Sandin's ink and watercolor illustrations, help Carl Erik adjust. Sandin gives a gentle but balanced view of nineteenth-century homesteading life.
