“The Sarah, Plain and Tall series is Patricia MacLachlan’s most celebrated work. The first book, published in 1985, won the Newbery Medal and has been read by millions of children. It tells the story of Sarah Wheaton, who leaves her home in Maine to become a mail-order bride for a widowed farmer on the prairie.”
The series continued with four more books: Skylark, Caleb’s Story, More Perfect Than The Moon, and Grandfather’s Dance, published between 1994 and 2006. Together, the five books follow Sarah and her adopted family across years, from the uncertainty of her first arrival through the growth of the family she chose to join.
