Wee Sister Strange by Holly Grant - ADVISABLE

Grant, Holly Wee Sister Strange, Illustrated by K.G. Campbell.  PICTURE BOOK.  Schwartz & Wade Books, 2017.  

Wee Sister Strange contentedly lives in the woods by herself, wandering around in a gorgeous dreamy land where she talks to owls, tames and rides and bears, but yet she’s searching for something.  She finally happens upon a house, listens to a bedtime story through the window and curls up happily to sleep in a pile of leaves.  

While it could be kind of a dark story, the lyrical text and glowing warm gorgeous illustrations make the forest and Wee Sister Strange’s habit magical.  Wee Sister Strange will leave you wanting to live in the forest too.
