Cape Breton's Magazine

These drawings are the drawn equiva? lent of oral history. We leam that the MacKinnon farm provided a daily at? mosphere of love and encourage? ment; it was a childhood that pro? moted courage and learning. Silent Observer is a children's book of emotional and his? torical substance. With details of a world now almost utterly disap? peared, we see the development of courage and good humour in a young woman making the first steps toward maturi? ty. Heading • 'well-prepared by her rural education • for the wider world. A definite "read me again," Silent Observer has been chosen by Scholastic Canada Children's Book Club and, in the United States, by the Children's Book- of-the-Month Club. This full colour, hardcover book will be read again and again by people of all ages. , ,'i • ' "Every afternoon at 5:001 would bring the They told time better than our old kitchen cows in from the pasture.
