Heartland

Here, in their second stunning collaboration, Diane Siebert and Wendell Minor create a joyful, singing celebration of this country's heartland, the Midwest, a land where golden wheat waves in the breeze, great rivers flow, and cornfields stretch across the plains like glorious patchwork quilts in hues of yellow, green, and brown. Cattle graze in lush, green pastures, horses and sheep fill the barns, and a newborn calf stands damp and warm in the sun.

About the author

Diane Siebert and her husband left their jobs, sold their possessions, and set out on an incredible ten-year journey around the United States (and some of Mexico). This experience inspired her many award-winning children¿s books: Truck Song, Train Song, Plane Song, Motorcycle Song, Heartland, Mojave, Sierra, Rhyolite, Mississippi, and Cave.

Summary

A read-aloud picture book for young children that celebrates the heartland of our great country.

Every country has a heart and America’s is in those places where golden wheat waves in the breeze, where great rivers flow, and cornfields stretch across the plains in glorious patchwork quilts of greens and yellows and browns.

In this heartland, cattle graze in lush green pastures, horses and sheep fill the barns, and a newborn calf stands damp and warm in the sun. This picture book reflects all the great qualities of rural life.
