We found this Young Hoosier Book Award Nomineee today at the library. The story is great, but the pictures really sell the story.
I haven’t heard of the author before (Hallie Durand), but I’ve definitely seen the illustrator. Tony Fucile is the illustrator for Bink & Gollie books by Kate DiCamillo and we love those books! I found out there’s another book about Mitchell so I’ve already put it on hold at the library.
