Welcome to America's Heartland — a place where golden wheat waves in the breeze, where great rivers flow, and cornfields stretch across the plains in glorious patchwork quilts of greens and yellows and browns. Cattle graze in lush green pastures, horses and sheep fill the barns, and a newborn calf stands damp and warm in the sun. This is the Heartland, where the farmer is king — but over everything, Nature reigns supreme.
Diane Siebert
Diane Siebert and her husband left their jobs, sold their possessions, and set out on an incredible ten-year journey around the United States (and some of Mexico). This experience inspired her many award- winning children's books: Truck Song, Train Song, Plane Song, Motorcycle Song, Heartland, Mojave, Sierra, Rhyolite, Mississippi, and Cave. She lives in Oregon.
