The oxcart man packs his goods — the wool from his sheep, the shawl his wife made, the mittens his daughter knitted, the linen they wove, the birch brooms his son carved, and even a bag of goose feathers. He travels over hills, through valleys, past farms and villages to Portsmouth Market, where he sells everything one by one — even his beloved ox. Then, with his pockets full of coins, he buys provisions for his family and returns home. And the cycle begins again. A lyrical, Caldecott Medal-winning journey through the seasons of a New England family's life.
