Ox-Cart Man by Donald Hall and illustrated by Barbara Cooney is a perfect cozy book for any time of the of year. Winner of the Caldecott Medal for Best Children’s Picture Book in 1980, Ox-Cart Man is a timeless tale that truly should be read aloud to every child.

Ox-Cart Man

The story starts in October with the man loading his cart with all the things his family has made or harvested over the previous year. He makes a ten day journey on foot to Portsmouth where he sells everything he has brought along. He purchases a few things that he carries home to his wife, daughter and son.




And the cycle begins again with the family working through the rest of the autumn, the winter, and the spring to prepare for the next October trip to Portsmouth.

There is so much to love about this cozy book including the illustrations, the simplicity of the story, understanding the rhythms of the seasons, and the emphasis on a family working together.

You should definitely add Ox-Cart Man to your list of cozy books to read and purchase a copy for your family library.

This is part of my A Month of Cozy Books series!
