Book Synopsis
Katie and her papa are among a group of settlers building a town in the middle of the dusty, brown prairie. Every week the trains bring more people who build houses, fences, and barns. But one thing is missing: trees.
When the townspeople take up a collection to order trees from back east, Katie adds her own pennies and Papa?s silver dollar. When the tiny saplings finally arrive, Katie helps dig holes and fetch water. Then, in a quiet corner off the public square, Katie and Papa plant a flowering dogwood in memory of Mama.
Although set in the past, Kathryn O. Galbraith?s gentle story of community building, the timelessness of love, and the power of ritual will resonate with young readers today. Cyd Moore?s full-color illustrations reflect the simplicity of the story and life in a new prairie town, while evoking the complexity of its themes.
