Bookroo's summary
Nora, newly arrived from Russia, feels isolated on the vast American prairie. Her only companions are a dozen chicks and two geese, who follow her everywhere. When one chick disappears, Nora must navigate her loneliness and the challenges of frontier life. Can she find her missing friend and discover a sense of belonging in this unfamiliar land?
From the publisher
From Newbery Medalist Patricia MacLachlan comes a reassuring story about new beginnings and making friends. Nora and her family have just arrived from Russia and are making a new home on the American frontier. The prairie is very different from the forested hills Nora is used to. Most of all, it’s lonely. Papa has the cows he sings to as he milks them. Baby brother Milo has a dog to follow him wherever he goes. But Nora has no one and nothing to call her own until Papa brings home a dozen chicks and two geese. Nora names each one, and they follow her everywhere – even to church! But what will happen when one of her beloved chicks goes missing?
