<div>This is a story about a field and a man who loved it enough to do something to save it from development. “Based on the author's personal efforts to protect the land, this story broadcasts a deliberate and timely environmental message that, like the intentionally nameless protagonist, <i>anyone </i>can make a difference. Aglow in harvest tones, Root's strong watercolor and gouache paintings heighten the story's magic.”--<i>Booklist</i><br></div>
