| Description: |
A Story of Hope. In this nearly wordless story, Kate DiCamillo and illustrator Jaime Kim convey a lonely child''s longing for a friend. ''La la la...'' A little girl stands alone and sings, but hears no response. Gathering her courage and her curiosity, she skips further out into the world, singing away to the trees and the pond and the reeds - but no song comes back to her. Day passes into night, and the girl dares to venture into the darkness toward the light of the moon, climbing as high as she can... Now, will she be heard? |
