"Sarah,Plain and Tall" is a children's book written by Patricia MacLachlan,an American childrens' writer.

This book was the winner of the 1986 Newbery Medal,the award that is given to the author of the most distinguished contribution to American literature for children.

The story is set during the late he late 19th century,where Jacob,a widowed farmer who lives with his 2 children in Kansas,is still sad by the death of his wife during childbirth several years before.

Caleb,the youngest of the family,is the most affected by this loss.Her mother died the day after she gave birth to him,but he doesn't know that.

The only thing he knows is that her mom used to sing,and so used to Jacob,his father.

He spents the days asking her older sister Anna about their mother: how did she looked like and if she sang every day.

One time,Anna broke in tears when Caleb asked her to sing one of her songs,so that he might remember her.

Jacob,realizing that he cannot raise his children on his own anymore,decides to put an ad in the paper,asking for a wife.

A couple of days later,someone writes back.Sarah Wheaton, from Maine, answers his ad and travels to Kansas to become his wife.

The first thing that Caleb asks Sarah whe they first meet is: "Do you sing?" She says yes,and that puts a smile in the face of Caleb.

Sarah brings some souvenirs from the sea,and they explain to her the daily tasks of the farm during her stay.

After one month,she admits that while she misses the sea, she would miss them more if she left them.
