The Log Cabin Church

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Ronald Himler. Although the young narrator's backwoods accent is somewhat distracting, Elvirey's questions about the need for a church in the newly settled Michigan farming community give the book (a sequel to Log Cabin Quilt and Log Cabin Christmas) an unusual focus. Himler's artwork conveys the hardships of pioneer life more successfully than the joy and comfort of community.
