"When Rory brought this book to me the other day in the library and asked me to read it, I had a sudden jolt of nostalgia. I remembered my mom reading this to me when I was very little. It must have made an impression on me because I LOOOVE the mountains and feel very much at home among them. It's a beautifully written book and the illustrations are interesting enough that your five-year old will remember them when she's grown and has children of her own."
"The author speaks of a time when she was a little girl visiting her grandparents home in WV. The simple but beautiful way she describes her memories and the superb illustrations by Diane Goode make this book a treasure."
"My own roots (and my family's history for the past few generations) are in the mountains of northeast Pennsylvania, and I think that this short, sweet book does a very good job of showing some of what makes living amidst mountains such a wonderfully attractive lifestyle for those that love them. Cynthia Rylant writes with a surety born of experience, taking us to the places of which she speaks and allowing the perceptive reader to see that love amongst family can blossom anywhere, and to live it out amongst the mountains is a good thing, for sure."
