Grandfather's Dance

Could anything be more perfect than a prairie wedding? Cassie doesn't think so, for a wedding Two lovebirds together,Aunts from faraway Maine,A long white dress with a wedding veil,Zinnias,Satin ribbons,Dancing under a clear blue sky,And a world that smells of roses. And as the Witting family comes together for this most special day, Cassie sees that life The change of seasons,Brother Jack on Grandfather's lap,A brand-new car,Joy,Sorrow,And a special dance only Grandfather does. Sarah, Plain and Tall began the Witting family's saga on the prairie. Now the story completes its circle with Grandfather's Dance , Patricia MacLachlan's poetic celebration about the enduring spirit of family.
