Elizabeti's Doll

32 pp. | Lee | September, 1998 | Trade ISBN 1-880000-70-9 $$15.95
(2) K-3 Illustrated by Christy Hale. Elizabeti, a contemporary Tanzanian girl, adopts an oval-shaped rock as a doll and names it Eva. The story tells about Eva's temporary disappearance, but the heart of the story is Elizabeti's acceptance of Eva not just as a real doll, but as a real person. The straightforward telling is smooth and clean, and the illustrations, echoing Eva's shape and color, are often oval vignettes with softly speckled backgrounds.
