Lurie, Alison

K-3
Illustrated by
Jessica Souhami.
On her way to rescue her baby brother from the black geese who steal children, Elena helps three small creatures and receives three magical gifts that ensure her escape from a witch. Lurie summons exactly the right voice for a tale for the youngest children: clean, clear, flowing easily and directly from one thought to the next. Souhami's bright illustrations are as spare and lively as Lurie's beautifully honed narrative.
