Aurora Means Dawn

In 1800, when the Sheldon family arrived in Ohio to settle, they were greeted by a storm that toppled trees and made the road impassable for wagons. Sheldon, forced to make his way on foot, soon discovered that their destination, Aurora, was nothing but a surveyor's post. After receiving help in a nearby village, the Sheldons found their new dawn after all. Full color. 32 pp. Ages 5-8. Pub: 3/98.
