Cynthia Rylant and Barry Moser both grew up in Appalachia. Together, author and illustrator present us with a gentle yet poignant picture, in words and images, of the people of Appalachia--their homes, food, dogs, surroundings, and views of the world. It is a personal and authentic perspective--one that shares the Appalachian spirit of family and connection to nature. Full-color illustrations.
