This living book will effectively engage children as they become fascinated with the life of the pioneering Robertson family.
The Robertson family, pioneers living on a backwoods farm, begin to celebrate the coming of spring and begin the new chores when the hardships of winter are over. Meet Sarah and Willy as they make maple syrup, delight in the box of baby farm animals brought from the market, find honey, milk cows, shear sheep and so much more as they learn the many tasks for living off the land in the backwoods. Follow the Robertson family through the year, until winter closes around them once again.
A blend on fiction and nonfiction, this work chronicles one year in the lives of the imaginary Robinson family. The stories illuminate not only pioneer farm life, but everyday situations that occur in any era. Illustrated historical notes enlarge on the social history and describe activities related to the stories.
