(3) 1-3 Illustrated by Sònia Albert. Ella Josephine’s third book finds Ella once again helping her fellow residents in her apartment building. In three short stories, each made up of several chapters and accompanied by black-and-white illustrations, Ella helps make a sign for a new business; discovers a neighbor’s hidden creativity; and goes camping with neighbors at the top of Poppy Hill. The charmingly old-fashioned tales convey a sense of community and warmth that make for an inviting read.
