(3) 1-3 Illustrated by Bernie Fuchs. In this story about the barn raising that follows a destructive fire, Yolen's text, rich with metaphor, captures the spirit of community that flourishes among the Amish. Eight-year-old Matthew, the narrator, hopes that Papa will consider him big enough to help. The expressive oil paintings offer compelling images of the farm and the Amish people. Author's note appended.
