Ox-Cart Man
The Caldecott Medal-winning book, "The Oxcart Man," takes readers on a lyrical journey through the changing seasons in the life of a New Englander and his family. The story begins with the oxcart man packing his goods - the wool from his sheep, the shawl his wife made, the mittens his daughter knitted, and the linen they wove. He also packs the birch brooms his son carved, and a bag of goose feathers from the barnyard geese.
The oxcart man then travels over hills, through valleys, by streams, past farms and villages, until he reaches the Portsmouth Market. Here, he sells his goods, one by one, even his beloved ox. With his pockets full of coins, he wanders through the market, buying provisions for his family, and then returns to his home. And the cycle begins again.
The stunning combination of text and illustrations in this book has been described as a "pastoral symphony translated into picture book format," capturing the mood of 19th-century rural New England. The lyrical writing and evocative illustrations create a sense of timelessness, transporting readers to a bygone era and inviting them to experience the rhythm of the seasons and the simple pleasures of life in a rural community.
The Oxcart Man is a testament to the enduring power of storytelling and the enduring appeal of the natural world. Through the eyes of this humble farmer, readers are reminded of the importance of self-sufficiency, the value of hard work, and the beauty of the changing seasons. The book's timeless message of gratitude and appreciation for the natural world resonates with readers of all ages, making it a beloved classic in the world of children's literature.
