Talk about spinning gold from straw! This picture book from Beth Ferry, with illustrations by master storybook artists the Fan Brothers, is a true gem. It is told in a poetic cadence that reads aloud beautifully, filled with lush and detailed illustrations, and contains a tender tale of a most unlikely friendship. It definitely managed to provoke some heartfelt "awwws" and maybe a few tears from the picture book team. Recommended By Sarah R., Powells.com
