I have never heard of these books, so it is good to learn something new, plus they look really good X #mmbc

In reply to Debbie Roberts. Yes, that's exactly it. Hilda learns so much through loss, adventure, and mistakes! I feel like I can never find enough good work for my kids to do. I feel like I'm way too easy on them.

We have not read these yet! I have a few more months before the boy officially turns into a teen, so I will add these to his bedside table reading! Thanks 🙂

Hi April, both of these books sound like they are sending out positive messages. I love the second quote you shared from Farmer Boy, earning money is hard work (as my daughter is going to find out this summer!). In your second book, Secret In The Maple Tree, Hilda does sound like she’s not in a happy place, it is important for children to learn that life isn’t always a bed of roses, but things do get better if you just hang in there.

Thank you for linking up with the #MMBC.
