When Amber and Essie’s
father is taken to jail for forging a check, the two sisters must rely on each
other to get through the hard times as their mother struggles to take care of
the family. By telling this story using poems and illustrations, the author is
able to convey much more emotion and meaning below the surface than with simple
text. Young readers will see two
sisters who not only love each other very much, but who rely on each other for
comfort and safety when the world they have always known is shattered.
