About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is eager to help with grown up tasks or when you want to establish a comforting sense of rhythm in your weekly routine. It is a beautiful choice for children who are beginning to take pride in their own capabilities and responsibilities within the family unit. This story follows a young boy and his father through the ritual of hay-making, structured around the days of the week and a traditional Polish folk song. Beyond the farm setting, the book explores the deep emotional satisfaction of a job well done and the bond formed through shared labor. The rhythmic, repetitive text makes it highly accessible for preschoolers and early elementary students, reinforcing the days of the week while celebrating a simple, pastoral way of life. It is an ideal read for slowing down and appreciating the steady, quiet work that sustains a community.
