Thank you Debbie Atwell for this special book. I have always loved barns but now we can see how barns love us back.

The history of "Barn" is fascinating and the telling from Barns' perspective is terrific! I found this book at my local library but love it so much I'm purchasing it for my collection.

I would encourage all readers, young and young at heart to take a look at this exceptional work.

Atwell has an amazing ability to see a story in front of her and to bring it to her audiences. I will never look at a barn or any aged building quite the same again. I think this is an important story for children to read for in it is the lesson that time is a continuum and we live merely from point a to point b on that continuum.

Barn by Debby Atwell is about a barn but tells us about our sense of continuity, what we value, what spiritual and basic forces bring us together. The paintings are like the flicks of life and lifetimes going by and give us a space and time to view it all. Good for kids but it's in my adult collection too.

I like this book because it is sad.The children work hard everyday in the fields and then they build a barn for their dad.One of thegirl's taught their dad how to say yes or no with his hands and head.
