Tumbleweed Baby — Anna Myers

A large, loving family in the 1930s Dust Bowl finds a “tumbleweed baby” -- a wild baby -- in the plains near their cozy farm home. The baby's new siblings discover the ways she fits and doesn't fit into the family, ultimately deciding that her wildness makes her one of them. The rhythm and voice of the text make this feel like a classic tall tale, and it pairs perfectly with the dreamy, warm art from master illustrator Charles Vess.
