    <![CDATA[For twenty years, Cynthia Rylant's story of childhood in the Appalachian Mountains has been an enduring favorite. Growing up in the mountains is depicted with a spare, lyrical text and beautiful, tender illustrations by Diane Goode. The book was awarded a Caldecott Honor Medal. <br/><br/> To celebrate its twentieth anniversary, <em>When I Was Young in the Mountains</em> is being released with a commemorative copper-colored band. <br/><br/> Illustrated by Diane Goode]]>

    <body><![CDATA[Any children's story by Rylant is a must-read. This may be my favorite because of it's authenticity to the spirit of the Appalachian people. I love the humorous and gentle art and the sentimental but not sappy writing. Very, very good book. ]]></body>
