Description

In this joyful celebration generations of family and their tender connection to a beautiful red barn, Newbery Medalwinning author Patricia MacLachlan and award-winning artist Kenard Pak spin a tender and timeless story about the simple moments that make up a lifetime.

A century ago, a young boy witnessed his family and community unite to construct a magnificent red barn. This barn became his sanctuary and home – a place to play with friends and farm animals alike.

Over the years, the barn weathered numerous storms. The boy grew up, left, and came back as a young man to tend to the barn once more. A barn that has stood strong for a hundred years, promising to stand for another hundred: a testament to peace, stability, care, and community.
