Lissy's Friends

(3) K-3 Lissy, who's lonely in her new school, folds origami animals that come alive and keep her company until they accidentally get blown far away. The one remaining crane attracts the attention of another child; soon Lissy is making numerous (human) friends. Many readers will empathize with Lissy while enjoying the brightly patterned, extra-large origami animals in the illustrations.
