Life with Lily is Book 1 in the ‘Adventures of Lily Lapp’ series.
Lily is six in this story, just starting first grade in a one-room schoolhouse in upstate New York. Her parents are busy building a farm, and soon animals join the family—Jenny the cow and Chubby the miniature horse. A baby brother arrives, too, which Lily has mixed feelings about. (She wanted a sister!) Aside from a mischievous friend like Mandy Mast, Lily is happy at school and even happier at home.
Trouble is brewing at the schoolhouse and change is on the horizon for Lily and her family.

MY REVIEW:
I thoroughly enjoyed reading Life with Lily. Yes, I read it by myself, not out loud to my children. They’ll get their turn with this book next. 🙂
In a time when children’s literature often leaves much to be desired, Life with Lily is a breath of fresh air. A lovely book that will introduce your children to the Amish lifestyle. Lily is 6, and tries hard to please her parents. But sometimes, things just happen. Lily doesn’t mean for things to go wrong, they just do. There are great lessons for kids to learn from reading how Lily listens to her parents and handles her mistakes.
Even though Lily is 6, readers of all ages will enjoy getting a glimpse the Amish through through the eyes of a child.
