(3) 1-3 Illustrated by Don Kilby. In a story set in Canada in 1918, young Lloyd is sent to the country to escape the influenza epidemic that threatens his urban community. When his aunt and uncle come down with the disease, he must battle rain, lightning, and mud to take their newborn baby to the nearest neighbor. Quiet and affecting, this small story of youthful bravery is well matched with realistic paintings of the rural setting.
