It's pouring as Amelia runs down the street; her contagious rain-spattered grin prompts old Mrs. Higgins to bake cookies for her grandson in Mexico--and the good vibes voyage around the world, eventually coming back to Amelia herself. The up-to-date transmission of salutary good humor and a series of related events are effective, as are Stein's cheerfully energetic pencil, crayon, and watercolor illustrations.
