Illustrated by
Kathryn Brown.
Young Nora, newly transplanted to the American prairie, misses her native Russia. She longs for a friend but is too shy to make one until one of her beloved chicks is found and returned to her by a neighbor girl. The simply told story is adorned with open, soft, evocative watercolor illustrations that nicely capture setting, character, and mood.
