The Song of Delphine

32 pp. | Candlewick | April, 2015 | Trade ISBN 978-0-7636-7001-6 $15.99
(4) K-3 Delphine, a lonely servant girl in a palace on the savanna, sings to keep her spirits up. When the queen's young niece cruelly mistreats her, Delphine sings, "letting the loneliness and fear pour out of her soul." Her songs turn out to be her salvation, and all too-conveniently ends well. Watercolor and ink illustrations are equally adept at conveying emotion and depicting the vastness of the landscape.
