What You Know First

Mama and Papa say it’s time to leave the prairie, to start over somewhere new. But what about all that will be left behind? Things are familiar as a heartbeat-an ocean of grass, an endless sky, a cottonwood tree. How do you remember those things that can’t be packed up and taken away with you? Maybe it’s true what Papa says. Maybe you’ll remember because the place you know first stays with you forever, no matter where you may go.
