Our Little Cookstove: Beatrice Remembers

More about the book

Experience a Day in Yakima Valley, Washington in the Early 1900s with a little girl named Beatrice! Little Beatrice lives on a farm in the Yakima Valley with Mamma and Pappa and her sisters Gladys and Cleo. At the center of their home is a little black cook stove, where fresh biscuits await her after school and baby chicks nestle together for warmth. Adapted from a short piece that the adult Beatrice wrote many years later, these moments in Beatrice's life, lovingly recalled and beautifully illustrated, reveal the comfort a little girl finds in daily routines with her loving family and the joy she finds in the world around her. Children and parents can play games using the beautiful native animal and plant illustrations and reference the visual index at the end of the book. A loving memorial to times, places, and people in our American story.
