(2) K-3 There's a grand sense of ancient mysteries in this old English tale of folk beliefs and a family's run of bad luck. A difficult autumn followed by a hard winter saps a little girl's strength until her parents fear for her life. Finally, with spring, the child's strength is restored. Sewall's beautifully cadenced telling is accompanied by unassuming illustrations that suggest the harmony between those who till the soil and the rhythm of the seasons.
