Review "A fine example of successful historical fiction in picture book format. Leahs parents are farmers in the Great Plains of the 1930s. ... The oil paintings with subdued color values have great intensity, especially several that catch their subjects full-face and frozen at the peak of strong emotional reactions. Impact is enhanced by the starkness of the setting and the illustrations stillness. --School Library Journal, starred review Long Description Leahs pony was swift and strong.
