SynopsisA young girl discovers that her impoverished family is rich in things that matter in life, especially being outdoors and experiencing nature. Mountain Girl knows her family doesn't have enough money. But as the family sits around their scratched-up kitchen table and discusses the subject, her parents say they're rich . Don't her parents see her worn-out shoes or the patches on her little brother's pants? They begin to count up the value of the things they have. How much is it worth to be able to see the sky all day and feel the wind and smell the coming rain? Or to watch a cactus bloom or to sleep outside under the stars? After a while, Mountain Girl begins to realize money may not be as important as she thought. Could her family really be rich after all?, As her family attempts to calculate the value of the desert hills, the colors of blooming cactus, and the calls of eagles and great horned owls, a young girl--who has been led astray by the family's lack of material wealth--realizes what really matters. Color illustrations., "We're poor", Mountain Girl insists at a family meeting around their homemade kitchen table. Her parents, who love the outdoors and their independent way of life, disagree. And as her family attempts to calculate the value of the desert hills, the colors of blooming cactus, and the calls of eag1es and great horned owls, Mountain Girl realizes that she, too, knows they are rich beyond measure.

Education for kids and adults beautifully written and illustrated
There's a critical difference between having lots of money and being rich. For children to get exposed to that difference is quite important in developing reasonable cultural values in a society that can appear to be quite insane. The illustrations are most compelling and complement the story perfectly.
