Summary: A Daughter's Love
Comment: The powerful language and evocative illustrations draw the reader into this warm story about a Norwegian immigrant family in the Dakota Territory in the 1800s. Sonja's Mama sings away their troubles, but eventually the loneliness of the long winters on the prairie still her voice. Sonja longs for her Mama's singing and spirit to return, and the solution she discovers will delight readers young and old.

Summary: A wonderful story, deftly told and superbly illustrated
Comment: The Gift is author Marcia Freeman's poignant story of Sonja, a young Norwegian immigrant, and her family who carved out a new life for themselves in the Dakota frontier territory of the late 1800s. Beautifully enhanced with the artwork of Patrice Kennedy, the core of the story is how Sonja helps her mother to overcome the intense loneliness of prairie life. Strongly recommended for school and community library picturebook collections for children ages 5 to 9, The Gift is a wonderful story, deftly told and superbly illustrated.
