Today, Maybe

(4) K-3 Translated by Sheila Fischman. Illustrated by Gabrielle Grimard. A girl living alone in the woods patiently and confidently awaits the arrival of someone, a mysterious "he," while expertly turning away various storybook-character types: pirates, a witch, prince, wolf, etc. Expansive gouache, oil, and watercolor paintings reveal the fairy-tale quality of this lyrical story that, while beautiful to look at and listen to, has questionable child appeal.
