Amish wedding is an older picture book, that is based on true facts about the Amish culture. The story centers around Jonathan, a young boy who goes through the experience of helping his sister prepare for her wedding. Jonathan is so excited to get a brother, because he only has sisters. Jonathan finds joy in helping prepare for his sisters wedding, and once the big day arrives, he is trilled to celebrate with everyone in his community. At the end of the story, after Jonathan's mother tells him how big of a help he was, he wonders what his own wedding will be like someday. This book has simple, yet accurate drawings, with black and blue being the only colors used in the book. I think this book is wonderful for children to read because they are learning about a culture that they might otherwise not get to learn about. For example, women in the Amish culture usually don't wear white on their wedding day, they usually just make a new dress for the occasion.Also, once men get married, they must grow a beard to symbolize their marriage. This book is overall good and it teaches children to be good helpers like Jonathan. ( )
