A quiet, beautiful story of love, adversity, and happiness for children ages 4-8, with gorgeous watercolor illustrations throughout. Author and illustrator Helena Clare Pittman has had more than twenty children's books published. The casebound edition of this book, published by CarolRhoda Books, was in print for 10 years. It was a Children's Choice Book of the International Reading Association/Children's Book Council, and an award winner for design and illustration at the Chicago Book Clinic.
