It's ironic that readers are attracted to pictorial books on the Amish, considering that sect's well known aversion to being photographed. Amish children are a particularly attractive subject. This is a beautifully produced book, mostly depicting the Lancaster County Amish, photographed by a transplanted Lancaster resident who has earned the trust of the community. This book is recommended for all readers interested in the Amish - particularly for the many people who visit Lancaster County each year.

This wonderfully presented photo display of Amish children captures what it's like to live in an Amish world where English is a second language in America, where there are no modern technological devices, and where family ties are unusually strong. Beautiful color photos capture the Amish child's world.

The photos in this book are timeless! Having recently visited the Amish in Pennsylvania, my family are now interested in all aspects of Amish culture and life. The book is beautifully laid out and captures the exact emotions we experienced whilst there. Highly recommended for the Amish collector.
