Illustrated by
Adam Gustavson.
Lonely Hannah's new school is having a class picnic on a Saturday, but Orthodox Jews can't ride in cars on the Sabbath. When the whole class volunteers to walk with her, Hannah knows that she's made friends. The straightforward text and the painterly illustrations are stiff, but the Depression-era rural Minnesota setting is vivid and the message of acceptance universal.
