Blue Willow

3.7/5 ( ratings)

A little girl, who wants most of all to have a real home and to go to a regular school, hopes that the valley her family has come to will be their permanent home. -- bookshare.org

Janey Larkin once had a home. But that was before the drought. Now Janey and her parent are migrants, picking crops in the San Joaquin valley in California, moving on every few months. They have little more than the clothes on their back - except for the Blue Willow Plate which to Janey stands for all beautiful things. Janey longs for a real home, for friends and a regular school. This is a story about doing your best and about finding a home. It is a gentle story with well drawn characters
