Prairie School
In Prairie School, nine-year-old Noah loves living on the Colorado prairie. Like most children in the 1880’s, Noah dutifully helps his parents with all the work. When Aunt Dora comes from the East in her wheelchair to teach him how to read, he sees no need to do so. However, his aunt refuses to give up. Impressed by her knowledge, Noah decides to learn to read and write. He realizes his aunt has opened a world beyond the prairie to him.
