Illustrated by
Molly Idle.
Poppy is fearless (she scoops up spiders and snakes and wants to hike in the dark)--except when it comes to heights, as her more cautious sister, Petunia, discovers when Poppy becomes stuck in a tree. The illustrations are flat and angular like animation stills, with a muted, gauzy look that softens Poppy's edges and makes it easier to see the real kid underneath the thrill-seeker.
