Sarah, Plain and Tall is a children's book written by Patricia MacLachlan and the winner of the 1986 Newbery Medal,[1] the 1986 Scott O'Dell Award for Historical Fiction,[2] and the 1986 Golden Kite Award.[3] It explores themes of loneliness, abandonment, and coping with change.
The book was adapted as both a television film in 1991[4] and a one-act children's musical that was performed Off-Broadway in 2002.[5] It was followed by four sequels exploring the Witting family after Sarah's arrival called Skylark, Caleb's Story, More Perfect Than the Moon, and Grandfather's Dance.[6]
