(3) 1-3 Illustrated by Arthur Geisert. It's summer in Cresbard, South Dakota, and though she dislikes it, ten-year-old Rachel must work with her sisters on the family farm. The author uses the rigor of farm life as a backdrop for Rachel's struggle--making her father proud despite her dislike of hard, physical labor. The occasional, detailed black-and-white drawings complement the simple, honest story set in 1954.
