There's something beautiful about the mountain ways, but the mountain is a lonely place for little Amber. One day, Anna arrives with her father, who is going to build a road up the mountain. Even though Amber is shy, she musters up the courage to say "hey" to Anna one day in a meadow on the mountainside. Amber and Anna become fast friends, and Anna decides to teach Amber how to read. Amber has always wanted to be able to read; however, there isn't a school way up on the mountainside. With a lot of determination and hard work, Amber is able to read Anna's book about the princess spinning gold. Anna then has the notion to teach Amber how to write; however, the road is finished and Anna and her family go home. Amber decides to continue learning on her own. Can she find a way to keep their friendship strong? This lovely story is written by Tony Johnston and beautifully illustrated with paintings by Robert Duncan. 30 pgs, pb. - elise
Publisher's Description of Amber on the Mountain
Amber’s mountain is beautiful, but it is a lonely place—until the day Anna arrives, bringing both her friendship and the will to teach Amber how to read. Suddenly, Amber’s world is filled with a new magic and new challenges. But when Anna returns to the city, will Amber be able to keep reading on her own?
The first time I read this book to my kids, I actually teared up. It's a beautiful ode to setting your mind to something and working hard on it, the sweetness of friendship's, and how letters can make even the distance feel short. The paintings are right out of a homesteaders fairy tale, illustrating a beautiful, quiet and at times lonely life on the top of a mountain.
10\10 would recommend this book!
