The Flute

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Pulak Biswas. After a flood kills her parents, Chandra lives with her cruel uncle. One day, she hears the music of her mother's flute, and magical things start happening. Another flood hits, and Chandra's swept away, only to find the magic flute--and a loving family. Though Biswas's black and color-washed illustrations are murky, they portray both the anguish and hope in Gilmore's mystical story.
