Synopses & Reviews
Dora learns to overcome her fears of a mentally ill woman who lives in her community in this gentle and compassionate story set in contemporary Jamaica, West Indies.
Review
"The narrative's lilt and the strict adherence to Dora's point of view gives the tale much of its power. Saport's dense, hazy pastel illustrations are by turns foreboding and washed with relief, vibrantly evoking both setting and mood." Kirkus Reviews with Pointers
