Maybe later submitted by andreayun on April 24, 2021, 1:11pm My daughter is almost 7. I think this book will be good in maybe a two years.
Beautiful submitted by 21621032124198 on May 27, 2023, 6:40pm I loved reading Summer's story, her funny observations about her grandparents, her feelings about harvest and combines, and her fears for her brother. I looked forward to reading it each night. My only complaint is that the story ended.
