Pa's Harvest: A True Story Told by Ephrem Carrier

(3) 1-3 Illustrated by Cybele Young. In this compact volume, Andrews's simple account is delicately illustrated with small tinted etchings resembling linocuts. Young Ephie plants and harvests potatoes with his father during the Depression. Unable to find a market, Pa finally has to dump the rotting potatoes in a river--but Andrews puts a positive twist on the sad ending to show that Pa's strength means more to Ephie than his success.
