I remember loving Sarah, Plain & Tall the first time I read it.
I love how this book shows how hard farming was, & is especially what the families faced during times of adverse weather.

Beautiful sequel to the first story of Sarah, Plain and Tall. It developed the characters, strength, and love through difficulty and hardship. So hard not to want to cheer with them at the happy resolution. So good to love the ones we choose! Perfect for young girls - simple and short.
This is the follow-up to Sarah, Plain and Tall. Sarah misses Maine, with the sea and the greenery. But now that she is married to Papa, she must write her name in the prairie soil and make it her home.
My favorite book of all time. And yes, I know it's a kid's book. I reread it all the time.
Good quick reads. But that’s about it! Not much else to report!
The next step in the Sarah, Plain, and Tall saga and I appreciated how MacLachlan shows how we can be so attached to land and place. (Which is probably what I loved the very most about the whole trilogy). I also liked how the relationships have to grow and deepen in this book.
We really enjoyed this continuation of Sarah, Plain and Tall. Patricia MacLachlan has a beautiful way with words. She writes so simply, but so effectively, using very few words to make the most impact.
The sequel to Sarah, Plan and Tall, Skylark rejoins the newly formed Whitting family the summer after Sarah and Jacob marry. The plains are beset with a scorching drought challenging the new family with dwindling water supplies, fire, and lengthy separation. Similar to MacLachlan's first book, the second is narrated by Anna and tackles questions of what loyalty and family really mean. As poignant as the first and written in the same style, the characters continue to grow and deepen while remaining accessible and comforting to young readers.
For parents, topics that may bring up questions from curious minds include: birth, death, drought, loneliness and the dangers of fire (no injuries are portrayed). I have read #1 and #2 to my almost five year old and they have been her favorite of all the chapter books we've read so far. Some historical context and topical information has to be explained to young pre-readers.

I'm pretty sure I said this in my review of the first book, but the economy of MacLachlan's prose is just astounding. Not a single wasted word and so, so lovely to read. And they go to Maine in this one! Very much looking forward to finishing out the series.
