Grandpa Blows His Penny Whistle until the Angels Sing

40 pp. | Barefoot | May, 2001 | Trade ISBN 1-84148-247-1 $$16.99
(4) K-3 While disobeying his parents, incorrigible Little Boy James suffers a terrible fall from the barn roof. His devastated grandfather goes to church, plays his penny whistle, and leads a host of angels back home to revive the boy. Although the premise is theologically problematic, the rich, heavily textured collage illustrations dramatically portray the summer's heat and the mystical apparitions.
