Emma Jo's Song

32 pp. | Boyds | January, 2001 | Trade ISBN 1-56397-935-7 $$15.95
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Sherry Meidell. Although Emma Jo loves to sing, she has trouble carrying a tune. At a family reunion, her brother teases her and announces that Emma Jo will sing a solo. Instead of giving up, she tries to sing, and in support, her siblings join her, and even their dog sings along. Distinctive watercolors accompany this story of family loyalty set decades ago in the rural South.
