The work won the 1980 Caldecott Medal & Honor Books award. Delightful tale of the days and weeks, the months, and new changing seasons in the life of one New Englander and his family. He travels over hills, through breathtaking valleys, past farms and villages. At the buzzing Portsmouth Market he sells his goods - even his beloved oxen.
