From the publisher

This powerful and triumphant story is told by a young Amish boy whose family’s barn is destroyed in a huge fire. The Amish community comes together to build a new barn, bringing tools, wood, dozens of workers, and food to feed them all. Jane Yolen’s lyrical prose and Bernie Fuchs’s illuminating oil paintings deftly capture the spirit of an Amish barn raising.
