Summary
A large, loving family in the 1930s Dust Bowl finds a "tumbleweed baby"-a wild baby-in the plains near their cozy farm home. The baby's new siblings discover the ways she fits and doesn't fit into the family, ultimately deciding that her wildness makes her one of them. The rhythm and voice of the text make this feel like a classic tall tale, and it pairs perfectly with the dreamy, warm art from master illustrator Charles Vess. |Anna Myers is the author of many middle-grade historical novels, including The Keeping Room, Assassin, and Tulsa Burning. She lives in Oklahoma.; Charles Vess is the illustrator of many picture books and graphic novels, including Blueberry Girl by Neil Gaiman and The Cats of Tanglewood Forest by Charles de Lint. He lives in Virginia.
