A New York Times Book Review choice as one of the 10 Best Illustrated Children's Books of 2011, an Amelia Frances Howard-Gibbon Award Honour Book, and finalist for the Governor General's Award: Children's Illustration and Ruth and Sylvia Schwartz Children's Book Awards: Picture Book Each spring Anna leaves her home in Mexico and travels north with her family where they will work on farms. Sometimes she feels like a bird, flying north in the spring and south in the fall. Sometimes she feels like a jack rabbit living in an abandoned burrow, as her family moves into an empty house near the fields. But most of all she wonders what it would be like to stay in one place. The Low German-speaking Mennonites from Mexico are a unique group of migrants who moved from Canada to Mexico in the 1920s and became an important part of the farming community there. But it has become increasingly difficult for them to earn a livelihood, and so they come back to Canada each year as migrant workers in order to survive. And while they currently have the right to work in Canada, that right may be challenged. Working conditions are difficult for all migrant workers, most of whom have to leave families far behind. And yet countries like Canada and the United States benefit greatly from their labor. Beautifully written by Maxine Trottier and imaginatively illustrated by Isabelle Arsenault, this book describes what it is like to be a child in a migrant family.

Whenever I am driving back roads I am always on the look out for trees that look different than the others around it. Usually a sign of an old homesite. Or you can look for daffodils, or tulips. One weekend we were at my mom’s farm in Virginia. The kids and I decided to drive some back roads and to look for “gravity hill”. Apparently people say if you put your car in neutral you start moving forward, uphill. We did find it and tried it. I have a video of that trial of ours and will try to find it later and post on Facebook. Pretty funny, actually. As we left “gravity hill” I said to my daughters, “Look at those big old trees over there!” We drove past that area in the woods and my daughter said, “Oh my gosh!! Go back!!” We turned around and saw the most massive looking ruins. We were all in awe from the car. We went and had lunch and while eating, we were all on our phones researching. My kids love a good mystery and doing research! We finally discovered what it was and went back. It was Oak Hill Plantation. […]
