I often wonder what I'd do if there weren't any books in the world.

This is a lovely telling of the Grimm's tale. Two sisters who wander the woods, a missing father, a grieving mother, a magic library, a pet bear, and a friend who harvests mushrooms--this tale is beautifully illustrated in romantic watercolors and evocative prose. #fairytales #childrensliterature #kidlit #kidlitart
