This beloved Newbery Medal–winning book is the first of five books in Patricia MacLachlan’s chapter book series about the Witting family.
Set in the late nineteenth century and told from young Anna’s point of view, Sarah, Plain and Tall tells the story of how Sarah Elisabeth Wheaton comes from Maine to the prairie to answer Papa’s advertisement for a wife and mother. Before Sarah arrives, Anna and her younger brother Caleb wait and wonder. Will Sarah be nice? Will she sing? Will she stay?
This children’s literature classic is perfect for fans of Laura Ingalls Wilder’s Little House on the Prairie books, historical fiction, and timeless stories using rich and beautiful language. Sarah, Plain and Tall gently explores themes of abandonment, loss and love.
This anniversary edition includes author Patricia MacLachlan’s Newbery speech, a discussion guide, and a reading list. This modern classic is a strong choice for independent reading.
Read the rest of the Sarah books by Patricia MacLachlan: Skylark, Caleb’s Story, More Perfect than the Moon, and Grandfather’s Dance.

Sarah, Plain and Tall Series
Book Two Book Three Book Four Book Five
In this stunning sequel to Newbery Medal winner Sarah, Plain and Tall, Anna and Caleb travel with their new mother, Sarah, to Maine to take refuge from the prairie drought. Only the special love of Caleb, and the gift he offers his grandfather, can help to mend the pain of the past. More Perfect than the Moon continues the classic tale of the Witting family’s life on the prairie, in the lyrical style that Newbery Medal-winning author Patricia MacLachlan has made her own. But as Cassie begins to understand different kinds of love, be it between Anna and Justin or her brother Jack and Grandfather, she learns that sometimes the hardest part about loving someone is having to say goodbye.
