| Publisher Description: Willie Meadow lives with his mother, father, and brother in Blue Hill, Virginia. It's peaceful there--a perfect place for growing up. And for the Meadow family, each season of the year holds something special. Like the puppies born to their beloved dog one summer, a fishing trip on a crisp October day, or the thrill of a rare winter blizzard. Delicate illustrations and evocative text in a book so full of warmth and charm that you might find yourself wishing you, too, could live in Blue Hill--or at least visit for a good long while. |
