When things get tough, Isabel's strategy is to organize a "system." After her best friend moves away, she copes by organizing her life into boxes. A creature from her "wolves" box can't be contained; her search for a larger box leads to a new friend. Cozy, artful screenprinted illustrations in blues, cardboard brown, and scarlet round out this paean to friendship and imagination.
