(3) PS Illustrated by Christian Birmingham. While young Joe's parents are with sickly Grandma back in the city, he stays on his relatives' farm, where his various protestations ("I'm not scared of bats") contradict his behavior (he can't stop shivering). After he comforts a sheep giving birth, he finally warms to farm life--and tames his anxieties. Whybrow conveys Joe's insecurities without ever stating them. The sun-dappled illustrations are fine impressionistic studies.
