John Denver's Take Me Home, Country Roads

This brilliant picture book adaptation of the first hit song of John Denver is all about roots, family, and country. Set in Appalachia, a humorously diverse bunch of relatives and their in-laws go up, down and around the hills of West Virginia to converge by car, pickup, and motorcycle to a family reunion at Grandma and Grandpas country home. True to Appalachian style, Canyon portrays it all as if on a quilt, complete with little stitches between the fabric. The EPUB-format version comes with John Denver's famous voice accompanying the illustrations. This is one of the "John Denver & Kids" series of books.
