About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is facing a significant life change, such as a move or a change in family structure, while still processing the quiet weight of a past loss. While set during the high stakes of the 1889 Oklahoma Land Run, the heart of the story lies in twelve year old Annie Mae's internal journey as she navigates a new landscape without her mother by her side. This gentle historical chapter book explores how we carry our memories into new beginnings. It is an ideal choice for children aged 7 to 10 who are ready for a shorter, accessible narrative that honors both the excitement of adventure and the persistence of grief. Parents will appreciate the way it models resilience and the importance of family bonds during times of upheaval.
