YOUNGER FICTION
Cohen, Miriam

Mimmy and Sophie

(3) 1-3 Illustrated by Thomas F. Yezerski. Full-page drawings along with pages separated into comic-book-like panels illustrate four vignettes featuring two young sisters in Depression-era Brooklyn. The girls try to win a Popsicle-stick prize, visit their Russian immigrant grandparents, share some sisterly rivalry, and picnic on the Brooklyn Bridge. The time period is well conveyed, and the characters and their emotions will be accessible to the young audience.
