"In October he backed his ox into his cart and he and his family filled it up with everything they made or grew all year long
that was left over."
OX-CART MAN written by Donald Hall and illustrated by Barbara Cooney is the wonderfully gentle account of an18th century farming family that uses an ox-cart to take their goods to market, where they make the money to buy the things they need and how work conveys meaning, happiness and contentment to life. I wanted to turn the book over and start reading it over again. It's a real lesson in economics. Year after year, we are all producers and consumers.
