on May 24, 2012 :
What a fabulous book! Our whole family has devoured it's pages both as Dad read it aloud to us all, and as family members re-read their own treasured copy. We laughed, gasped, held our breath, and cried as the Boom family story unfolded in our living room. You will want both an online copy of this book, and your own beautifully bound heritage quality copy to keep and hand down, as we have now purchased for each of our children. And what we are hoping for, is for Rosie Boom to write a whole collection of these wonderful, heart filled, Barn Chronicles (and beyond? - eg The Rosie Years?) to keep in our family library, to be read and re-read over and over.
These are the books I have searched for, for years, for our family to read together.
