Synopses & Reviews
Everyone in town knows Miz Berlin. She's the one who walks the block, telling stories to herself. She's the one mothers tell their children to avoid. Not satisfied to watch from afar, Mary Louise catches up to Miz Berlin, who goes on telling her stories as if Mary Louise had been there all along. She tells block-long stories, stories about the day the sky rained feathers, and stories about her own humble birth. And before anyone can say "once upon a time", Mary Louise steps right into Miz Berlin's stories, making them her own!
In Miz Berlin Walks, illustrated with Floyd Cooper's rich oil-wash paintings, Owl Moon author Jane Yolen shares the magic of storytelling and the magic of a sharing between generations -- and races -- that leads to real friendship.
