(1) K-3 Illustrated by Lloyd Bloom. In this welcome reissue, a young farmer and his bride settle amidst "the hills that roll forever" and plant a plum tree. With the eloquent simplicity of a Shaker hymn, Johnston's words capture the cyclical pattern of a nineteenth-century farming way of life. Bloom's lush palette of verdant green and earth tones wakens all the senses.
