Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Here, in their second stunning collaboration, Diane Siebert and Wendell Minor create a joyful, singing celebration of this country's Heartland, the Midwest. It is a land where wheat fields grow and cornfields stretch across the plains to create a patchwork quilt in hues of yellow, green, and brown; a land where herds of cattle graze in pastures draped in lush, green grass, and a newborn calf stands in the sun.
And upon this land toils the farmer, strong and proud, whose weathered face tells a tale of a life of work that's never done. The Heartland — a land where, despite man's power, nature reigns.

Review:
"Minor's illustrations reflect Hopper in their clean, rectilinear images, and Andrew Wyeth in their attention to details. Like a stirring anthem, a memorable tribute."(--Kirkus Reviews)
Review:
"A celebration of the Midwest, lyrical verse pulsing with life, Heartland speaks in first person of the patchwork quilt of its farmlands, of the farmer, of its small towns, and [its] cities. A captivating presentation." (--Booklist)
