Bøker av Mary Maude Mayer

Young children live moment to moment, only vaguely aware of how protected they are by the adults around them. In this story, when Maudie is compelled by curiosity and longing for friendship to break the rules, she gets a glimpse of the protective world that she knew nothing about.

This story is one of many cherished memories of growing up on a farm. The main characters, Michael and Maudie, learn through simple childhood experiences how the world really works. They are tempted through perfectly natural circumstances to disobey their mother. Their disobedience leads to an unpleasant surprise, but they are also rewarded with new understanding.
