The Prairie is a land of extremes and, as the lyrical text and illustrations make clear, one that inspires extreme devotion from its hardy inhabitants. Review: IF YOU ARE NOT FROM THE PRAIRIE - This is a gorgeous book. The story rings true and the illustrations are beautiful! I found it first at a local independent bookstore and bought it for my husband. He is from the Oklahoma prairie and we have raised our family in California. When I read the book to him, his eyes sparkled and he had a big smile on his face ... it was the prairie he remembered even though the one in the book was Canadian. The little boy pictured in the front of the book even had red hair as did my husband of 47 years when he was little. So we decided to purchase four more for our children from desertcart so they would understand a bit more what growing up on the Oklahoma prairie was like. In addition, he is writing his own story for them. We think it will be a wonderful Christmas present for our children and their families. Review: you will love this book because it reminds you so beautifully of ... - If you are from the Prairies, you will love this book because it reminds you so beautifully of home. If you are not from the Prairies, you will love this book because it takes you to a beautiful place and it often overlooked. The short rhymes are brought to life by amazing illustrations. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #182,461 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #44 in Children's Canada Books #287 in Children's Country Life Books #650 in Children's Books on Boys' & Men's Issues | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 142 Reviews | ## Images ![If You're Not From The Prairie - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71bQEtH1tOL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ IF YOU ARE NOT FROM THE PRAIRIE *by J***S on December 15, 2009* This is a gorgeous book.

If you're not from the prairie you don't know, you truly cannot know the particular feel of those winds that constantly course through the fields, the special warmth of the way the sun penetrates your entire being. So is being from the prairie so exclusive winds only blow on the prairie, sun shines only on prairie fields and prairie folks? Not at all! In a similar sense, I could claim if you're not from the coast of southern California (or if you haven't lived there long enough to catch its spirit), you can't know how the sun specially graces those beaches, how the ocean waves energize your imagination. If you're not from the southwestern desert, you may have seen southwest sunset photographs, but without basking in their glow, you don't have actual knowledge of them. Maybe you've lived in a certain large city in a certain section of the world? After a while you'll know the spirit and the sense of that city, but you don't know, you cannot really know the sensibilities of another city of similar size that inhabits a different longitude, latitude, its geography and topography. Most likely you've experienced not only different quality of light during different seasons and differing times of day, but the sun does shine differently in different parts of the world, on different landscapes and cityscapes. In other words, one place is not every place. Author David Bouchard and illustrator Henry Ripplinger both are native to the Canadian heartland, and capture the prairies with gorgeous full-colour, slightly retro illustrations. The book's layout is wide and open, with stair-stepped text and an image vignette on the left side, a large illustration on each right-hand page. At different prices for different sizes, you can buy limited edition prints of the pictures, as well as a "Frameable Art Card" on Hentry Ripplinger's site. You also can discover the title of each painting as well as closely related paintings--maybe that didn't make it into the book this time? --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.in/products/8008399-if-youre-not-from-the-prairie](https://www.desertcart.in/products/8008399-if-youre-not-from-the-prairie) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-09-17*
