I forgot how wonderful this book is. Reading it as a short story rather than a children's book made it more poignant.
This book was a childhood book of mine. I don't really understand why but I felt I had really strong feelings towards this book. As I read this now I don't recall anything except the name Caleb and that is mainly because it felt like a unique name at the time.
But my review starts now...
This was an interesting story. It told a slight story of Sarah from the perspective of Anna. She is never physically described as anything but "plain and tall" but she is an empowered woman as she often mentions that even though she can cook and clean she can do and learn much more than that. I also really appreciated how the emotions of Anna and Caleb are expressed especially how they have been dealing with the death of their mother and a new woman coming into their lives. Overall solid book and since I have always had a weird connection to this book and just recently found an old copy in my house I decided to give it a solid 4 stars. (Not a 5 stars because there isn't much too extraordinary but overall very readable and lovely book)

This book is short and simple, but so sweet and offers much to think about and discuss, with themes of family, love and loss. It’s equally charming for kids and adults.

Sarah, Plain and Tall (Sarah, Plain and Tall, #1) by Patricia MacLachlan – I loved the book as a kid! Glen Close and Christopher Walken do an amazing job in the movies based on this book! Happy Reading!
Great, quick read aloud experience with my 7 and 9 year old boys. Good for sense of place, nature and historical elements.
I read this book for our Mother/Daughter book club that Hope and I are trying. It was short and sweet.
