Sea Crow

32 pp. | Orca | May, 2004 | Trade ISBN 1-55143-288-9 $$16.95
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Liz Milkau. Beachcomber Jessica uses her finds to create the totem-polelike Sea Crow. The text is slow going, but patient readers will be rewarded: Sea Crow gives Jessica the confidence to confess to a friend her new-kid-in-school anxiety and to reveal that she has a prosthetic leg. The softly hued paintings are not accomplished, but they are as thoughtful as the unusually perceptive text.
Reviewer: Nell Beram
