Booklist - 10/01/2024 Inspired by award-winning Atinuke’s experience raising her son in a small house constructed out of straw and clay in the woods of Wales, this early chapter book introduces a charming young girl and her adventures in the verdant countryside. Beti and her parents and toddler brother live off the grid and close to nature in a simple round house made of “trees and grass and earth. Just like the woods.” Four connected short stories follow Beti through the seasons as she explores her idyllic surroundings. In spring, the child searches for edible flowers to decorate her birthday cake and receives a mischievous baby goat as a present. In summer, Beti resourcefully fills a water jug from the stream, with a little help from her friends. She braves the elements in fall and winter, seeking shelter from storms and facing her fears. Atinuke’s accomplished storytelling is rich with vivid descriptions and an easygoing patter. Hughes’ gently drawn pencil vignettes appear throughout. Warmly inviting, this book has a timeless appeal. - Copyright 2024 Booklist.
