Spring release. Born on Christmas Day, Carol Bird has always been a source of light and laughter for her family. When illness arrives and no physician can provide relief, Carol's loving spirit remains unbroken. This cherished classic centers around her eleventh Christmas, as she reaches beyond her own struggles to bring comfort and delight to a family of nine children facing poverty. A timeless tale celebrating one young girl's compassion and how true strength shines brightest in lifting up others. This edition is almost a long picture book with about 10-12,000 words (I'll know the count once I'm done!), the pagination has been kept the same as the Houghton Mifflin edition with Jessie Gillespie's beautiful, charming and nostalgic illustrations from 1941. For the color editions, seventeen pages are in full color, in the B&W edition they'll be in grayscale. There are 56 more pages with black and white drawings. The cover is by Jessie Gillespie, too. Unabridged with updated punctuation. This one won't be ready for Christmas. I discovered it on November 16th, in response to a facbeook/instragram post asking for reprint suggestions. What a dear story, that will make a poignant family read-aloud, from the author of Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm.
