Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

A Packet of Seeds by Deborah Hopkinson, illustrated by Bethanne Andersen. See it on amazon here.

We discovered this one by chance as we study westward expansion, and it's a keeper. It's the story of a family's move to the prairie, the pain and struggle of relocation, and the family coming together again. The children play an important part in helping their mother find joy in their new home. Sweet.

Looks good, just reserved it at my library. We're into seeds and gardening right now, so this will be a nice addition.

It has been a favorite of mine for many years. I hope you all heed Keira's recommendation and give it a try.

I agree ! I've loved this one for years ever since I found it through Cay's Picture Perfect Childhood. The little ones won't cry probably, but you sure will!
