Illustrated by
David Diaz.
Holly Go Lolly loses her parents to the fearsome, voracious Ooboo, but, skilled at making shadows, she cleverly brings about the Ooboo's downfall. Willard has written an original fairy tale with a resourceful and determined heroine, telling her story in lively prose with the cadences of traditional fairy tales. Diaz fills the pages with enchanted colors and small, purply shadow silhouettes.
