(4) 1-3 Illustrated by Mary GrandPre. In a story that gets bogged down under the weight of its overly ornate prose, a stranger becomes the tailor in a remote village, sewing magical embroidered scenes into the pockets of the villagers' drab clothing and bringing color to their humdrum lives. GrandPr_'s glowing pastel illustrations capture with ease the magic that the text struggles to express.
