Miracles on Maple Hill by Virginia SorensenMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
This book is in my small collection of paperbacks saved from my Elementary school days. It was a wonderful New Year's book to pick up and read.
The author captures life from the perspective of children so vividly. It made me stop and look at my own everyday tasks and surroundings differently. The miracles of this book are simple. The types of miracles we can all see in our lives if we stop to look: the blooming of a flower, harvesting a garden, laughter filling the house, the feeling of pride after a job well done.
I also learned a lot about harvesting sap and turning it into maple syrup. Today I am going to the store and buying a bottle of REAL Pennsylvania maple syrup to pour over my pancakes!

Oh, how I would love to make a resolution like that! I think I will need to wait a few years. But I am looking forward to your book reviews - I am always looking for a good book!
Have you read the Percy Jackson and the Olympian series. Cuz those are great, fast reads.
Real maple syrup is SOOOOO good! It's really the only kind of syrup that I like...
I haven't read that one... I'll have to put it on my list. If you're looking for a good book, try the Hunger Games... SO good!!
