A review by melissad1975
Sarah, Plain and Tall by Patricia MacLachlan
5.0
January 2023: One of my favorite children's stories, and especially nice this time with Glenn Close reading the audiobook.
June 2016: Lovely and heartwarming. In fewer than 60 pages of beautiful, economical prose that never talks down to its young audience, MacLachlan tells a poignant tale of longing, hope, and love. She brings her small cast of characters to life (sweet Caleb!) and paints a vivid picture of late-19th century life on the plains. Deceptively simple, full of rich emotion and truth. I teared up more than once while reading this. I wish all children's books were so well-written! A real classic.
