Mia's Story: A Sketchbook of Hopes and Dreams

40 pp. | Candlewick | August, 2006 | Trade ISBN 0-7636-3063-2 $15.99
(3) K-3 Mia and her family live in a patched-up shack with little more than hope and dreams. When the new puppy Papa brings home wanders off, Mia sets out to find him. Instead she finds a mountaintop covered with small white flowers that she uses to transform her Chilean community. Soft watercolor and pencil illustrations convey the promise symbolized by this floral gift "from the stars."
