Henner’s Lydia is delightfully written and illustrated by Marguerite de Angeli. The story of a young Amish girl, Lydia is trying to make a hooked mat to sell at market…but with all the delightful distractions to be found on an Amish farm, hooking a mat seems rather tame by comparison! A Silver Angel Award winner, Henner’s Lydia will be a valuable addition to your library of classic favorites. Retails for $15.99. This book would make an excellent addition to any study of recent American history and the Anabaptists (Amish). This is one of the 8 book selections that complement the popular PA Keystones elementary history program and can be used with the program to create a complete one-year literature-based program.
