"Late in the summer of 1935, Lydia Grace's parentsare out of work, and to help make ends meet they send Lydia Graceto live with Uncle Jim, a baker in the city...Told entirely throughletters, the story radiates her utterly (and convincingly) sunnypersonality...[An] inspiring offering from creative collaborators."--Starred, Publishers Weekly"A moving, wonderfully rich illustrated story. It is thatrarity, a pictorial delight that in 20 double pages gives more andmore of itself each time it's read, and whose silentcomplexities reveal themselves with continuing pleasure." -- TheNew York Times Book Review
