PS
Chorao's portrait is a fond, bucolic look at the everyday life of a small modern farm. The text begins in winter when the farm appears quiet, but there is plenty of activity in the barn. As the year progresses, different activities specific to each season are described. Chock full of details, the illustrations are less controlled and sweet than in Chorao's earlier books and are well suited to the earthy setting.
