Brianna, Jamaica, and the Dance of Spring

32 pp. | Houghton | March, 2002 | Trade ISBN 0-618-07700-6 $$16.00
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Anne Sibley O'Brien. In this sixth Jamaica book, Jamaica's friend Brianna is disappointed with her dance recital part: she's a flower instead of butterfly queen. Brianna wins the starring role briefly when the queen (Brianna's sister) comes down with strep throat. But Brianna soon falls ill as well, and both sisters have to miss the recital. In a satisfying ending, the girls put on a private recital at home. Occasionally stiff artwork illustrates the text.
