Illustrated by
Margot Tomes.
This Slavic folktale retelling includes elements of Cinderella and myths about the seasons. Little Sister has a cranky stepmother and a demanding stepsister, but with her innate courtesy and the magical help of the Month Brothers, she manages to win back her cottage and little farm. Intimate, unpretentious illustrations reminiscent of nineteenth-century woodcuts are accompanied by small captions that extend the text.
