The Little Match Girl

Author: Hans Christian Andersen and Rachel Isadora  

Paperback

On the last night of December, a little girl huddles in the bitter cold, unable to go home until she has sold her bundle of matches.

Description

The luminous art of three-time Caldecott Honor recipient Jerry Pinkney transforms the nineteenth-century Danish girl of Andersen's tale into a child plucked straight from America's melting pot, shedding new light on the invisibility of the poor among the prosperous-a circumstance as familiar in Andersen's day as it is in our own." A beautifully illustrated version of a classic tale."(Booklist, starred review)
