Amish Children (the book)
Theirs is a world of mystery, a place apart. Where children dress like miniature adults, where they speak Pennsylvania Dutch before English (which they usually learn in first grade), where they are intrusted with fieldwork and kitchen duty before they leave elementary school, where they nearly always share three meals a day with their parents and siblings.
These are children who grow up without television, computers, or telephones. But they know their grandparents intimately; the boys can harness a horse and take their part in the twice-daily milking operation; the girls can quilt, bake bread from scratch, and look after their preschooler sisters and brothers.
What is it like to be an Amish child? With more than 150 unforgettable photographs, Jerry Irwin shows captured moments within the amish community. Phyllis Pellman Good provides engaging interpretive text, covering such themes as “Belonging,” “Going to School,” “Learning to Work.” “Having Fun,” “’Going with the Young People,’” and “Joining the Church.”
154 pages.
