About this book

From a shed roof above a city yard, Frank and Laura imagine distant landscapes while their father lies seriously ill indoors. Their conversation reveals two different ways of meeting uncertainty: Frank turns to imagination and faith, while Laura notices clothes, status and what the grown-ups may arrange for them. The arrival of two aunts brings another contrast, between Mrs. Oferr's concern with appearances and Mrs. Oldways's affectionate, practical care.

A. D. T. Whitney's novel for young readers connects family life with the small acts that make a community. In a later scene, children and adults cut, paste, stitch and bind picture books to give to other children. Hazel delights in beginning the work, and the group considers how a gift's pleasure continues after it leaves their hands.
