Just Like Mama A Charming Look at the Daily Life of the Amish “Aunt Martha says I look just like Mama!” Susie Mae boasted. Thomas looked her over and scratched his head. “Well, you may look like Mama, but I doubt you can keep up with her all day.” Susie Mae straightened her apron. “Ach, we’ll just see about that…starting tomorrow!” Susie Mae wants nothing more than to be “just like” her
own lovely and accomplished Mama. One day, she sets out to prove to
her brother Thomas and herself that she is ready to do exactly that!
From taking on the morning milking to egg gathering and berry picking,
Susie Mae tackles all of Mama’s daily tasks with gently amusing
and genuinely touching results. A wonderful book mothers and daughters
of all ages can enjoy, Just Like Mama ultimately encourages everyone
to be “just like the Lord Jesus.” |

One day he and his friends Sam and Ben see his neighbor's barn on fire. Several days later the neighborhood gathers for a barnraising. Reuben and his friends get to participate in the community event. |
 | REUBEN AND THE BLIZZARD The adventures of Reuben the Amish boy continue! When the biggest blizzard in years sweeps across their farm, Reuben and his five sisters, his parents, and his grandfather, all face new adventures and challenges. Reuben is worried about the five new pups. But the loss of electricity doesn't affect his family (since they've never had any). And when their neighbor man can't get his car out to take his wife to the hospital, Reuben and his father come to the rescue with their sleigh. |
 | REUBEN AND THE QUILT, Reuben was ducking strawberries in the truck-patch when his dad got the idea about making a quilt. The whole family would help (even Sadie, who threw the plump red berries). They would make it as beautiful as possible. Then they would sell it at the auction to raise money for an operation needed by their neighbor on the next farm. But the colorful Log Cabin quilt disappears before they have a chance to give it away. This hearty Amish family faces a new adventure!
