A review by oliviak07
The Hundred-Year Barn by Patricia MacLachlan

3.0

A slower paced children's picture book than most, including those with similar themes and textured illustrations, Patricia MacLachlan's "The Hundred-Year Barn" is homey and personal for anyone looking to read something simple on an autumn afternoon or evening.

Sometimes the best source of material and learning come from remembering our family and their unique tales or contributions in the world. Whether this book is based on the author's own life or that of someone she knows the plot left a potent impression on the creators.

Not one of my favorite picture books off all time, but one that was as enjoyable as can be, maybe the book will be on the top of other reader's lists.
