Caleb and Sarah begin to doubt they will ever return home to the prairie. Anna finds Caleb crying near a cove by the house. He wants to go home. The following day papa arrives in Maine. It rained on the prairie and he has come to get them. Everyone is happy. Papa and Sarah tell the kids that they are expecting a new baby. Anna is frightened because what happened to her first mother, when she gave birth to Caleb. Finally after many long weeks the Wittings arrive home on the prairie. The family enjoys time together.

At the end of the story the Witting Family returns to the prairie and begins their life again. It rains and they can start planting crops and farming. We started an indoor garden with sprouts, tomatoes and lots of other veggies. The kids love planting!
Lily and Aj enjoyed reading this story. They asked if we could read the book Caleb’s Story by Patricia Maclachlan. I am going to put it on order from the library so they can read it on their own.
Thanks for reading!
