The Wheat Doll


I had to post about this very cool book because my sister-in-law is the author! How cool is that?! I read it to the kids and they loved it and they also thought it was cool that there is a picture of their aunt on the back inside cover. It's a story about a girl who lives in Utah in the late 1800s. She has a doll made of wheat that she loves and is her best friend. She loses her doll after a storm and she is very sad. She searches for her doll and eventually gives up but after the winter months pass she makes a special discovery. It's based on a true story and it's a great book. The pictures are also very beautiful. So, everyone get yourself a copy and I can get it signed by the author herself if you'd like. If you are interested, you can buy it here.
