Wee Sister Strange

(4) K-3 Illustrated by K. G. Campbell. Little orphan "Wee Sister Strange" roams the woods at night, free-spirited yet seeking something unknown. She finally finds it when she overhears a mother reading a book (Sister's own story) to her child. Sister snuggles to sleep in a leafy bed outside their window. The watercolor and colored-pencil illustrations and the twee verse's cadence both evoke an eerie tone--effective if questionable for bedtime reading.
