(3) K-3 The rhyming text stumbles; the illustration soars. Andrews turns this sweet, somewhat shaky story of a plantation wedding in slavery days into a homespun Cinderella tale with heart. The fabric collages suit the story's emphasis on cloth--the main event is the making of a wedding dress from Big House throwaways--and the wooden-doll-like figures are characters in a folk drama of great subtlety and sophistication.
