Mama Loved to Worry

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Rachael Balsaitis. In this tall tale from Minnesota, Mama alleviates her excessive worrying by keeping busy on her farm, sewing, knitting, and cooking enough for all the family and livestock while inquisitive Baby Eli gets into all kinds of benign, folksy trouble. Watercolor illustrations capture each larger-than-life situation, and the big gathering of extended family at the conclusion radiates joy and welcome.
