(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Rajka Kupesic. Adapted from Hémon's seminal early-twentieth-century novel of French Canada, this elegantly somber book about Maria, a hardworking farm girl with numerous suitors, paints a lyrical picture of the seasons in the Quebec wilderness. Earthy paintings depict a close-knit community forging a living in this harsh, wintry land, where Maria ultimately decides to remain after the deaths of her fiancé and mother.
