Customer Reviews

Good book for reading to your little ones.

Actually, I have one beef with this book: it's awfully hard not to cry. Solid construction, simple but good story, nice artwork.

Brings many memories

I read this book constantly as a kid (I'm eighteen now) and I loved it. It is now part of my heart forever. Parents, buy this book for your kids, if only for the sheer beauty of it.

A beautiful portrait of one family's "circle of life"

Yonder provides children with a charming, vivid image of life, with its joys and its sorrows. The story of a farmer and his wife as they raise their family is mirrored in the growth of the beautiful plum tree outside their home. With vibrant, Impressionistic illustrations, this is an enchanting story that gently introduces children to the beauty and reality of the circle of life.
