Isadora's luminous paintings tell this classic story of a valiant spirit set free at last. Full-color illustrations. |

| Publisher 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.
