Growing up in the Mountains is special.
To celebrate its twentieth anniversary, When I Was Young in the Mountains is being released with a commemorative copper-colored band..
The book was awarded a Caldecott Honor Medal.
Growing up in the Mountains is depicted with a spare, lyrical text and beautiful, tender illustrations by Diane Goode.
For twenty years, Cynthia Rylant\'s story of childhood in the Appalachian Mountains has been an enduring favorite.
Full-color illustrations.
And each is part of a gentle story, illuminated with perceptively happy paintings that evoke the love of a way of life, of a family, and most of all, of a place.
Each pleasure is one to share--and remember.
