Leah's pony was swift and strong. Together they would cross through
cornfields and over pastures, chasing cattle as they galloped under
summer skies. Then came the year the corn grew no taller than a
man's thumb. Locusts blackened the sky. The earth turned to dust.
Gone were the cornfields and pastures where Leah and her pony once
rode. It was the beginning of the great drought. Now Leah's papa
faced losing the family farm. Set in the Dust Bowl of the 1930s,
Elizabeth Friedrich's deeply felt story, vividly portrayed through
Michael Garland's stunning oil paintings, tells of one child and
what she would sacrifice for love of her family.
This is an EXACT reproduction of a book published before 1923. This
IS NOT an OCR'd book with strange characters, introduced
typographical errors, and jumbled words. This book may have
occasional imperfections such as missing or blurred pages, poor
pictures, errant marks, etc. that were either part of the original
artifact, or were introduced by the scanning process. We believe
this work is culturally important, and despite the imperfections,
have elected to bring it back into print as part of our continuing
commitment to the preservation of printed works worldwide. We
appreciate your understanding of the imperfections in the
preservation process, and hope you enjoy this valuable book.
For anyone expecting twins-and for those already raising them-"The
Parents' Guide to Raising Twins "is a practical and comprehensive
resource. Cherry Rowland and Elizabeth Friedrich, both mothers of
twins, have tapped into a wealth of guidelines and advice from
doctors and nurses, as well as the personal experiences of
thirty-five other parents of twins and triplets.
They map out the special problems and pleasures of:
-Being pregnant with twins: how to obtain an accurate diagnosis;
prenatal care; complications to watch for
-Managing the early months: how to adjust to sleeping patterns;
breast-feeding for two or more; the question of dressing
twins
-Treating young twins as individuals: how to cope with the
competitiveness (and closeness) between twins, and common
misconceptions about "twinness."
The authors list clubs and organizations specially devoted to
issues of rearing twins. With their help, no parent will feel alone
in caring for more than one baby at a time.
