I'm Sorry, Almira Ann

(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Susan Havice. Fortunately for eight-year-old Sarah and her best friend Almira Ann, both their families decide to leave Missouri at the same time and join a wagon train headed for Oregon. This eloquent short novel conveys both the hardships and pleasant surprises--prized belongings jettisoned by other travelers--the pioneers found, while also telling the story of a girl in danger of losing something dearer to her than material goods could ever be.
