Hannah's Sod House

Little Hannah Lander lives in a sod house in northeastern Colorado with her father and mother and four siblings. Hannah is noticeably toothless because of an unfortunate incident that occurred when she was a baby. Her mother had been holding Hannah in front of her on horseback when she rode smack into the clothesline in the dark, and the clothesline had ripped out Hannah's upper front teeth. Her brothers sometimes tease her about her appearance and call her "Grandma." The Landers are a likeable, real family. Although they live a hard life as pioneer homesteaders in a new country, they have a cheerful outlook and an abundance of fun. Simple pleasures such as a Christmas pageant, a sod house building party for a newly engaged couple, and a country auction punctuate life on their dryland farm. Reminiscent of Laura Ingalls Wilder's Little House on the Prairie, and based on author Helen Littler Howard's early childhood experiences, this sincerely written story portrays the Lander family through the eyes of young Hannah.
