(2) 1-3 Illustrated by Brian Floca. Lily and Liam love visiting their grandparents' farm, but this year Liam can't stop thinking about Gran and Grandpa's lonely cow. When Liam comes up with a plan to find a friend for White Cow, everyone's Christmas is made merrier. Floca's realistic black-and-white illustrations reflect the solemn tone of MacLachlan's moving tale, narrated in older sister Lily's thoughtful voice.
