In 1919, this barn was built
by townspeople, family, and friends.
It has stood for a hundred years
and will stand for a hundred more.
The barn is a symbol of peace
and stability
and caring
and community.
In this joyful celebration of a hundred-year barn, Newbery Medal-winning author Patricia MacLachlan and award winning artist Kenard Pak spin a tender and timeless story about the simple moments that make up a lifetime.
