Beloved, award-winning author Patricia MacLachlan's gentle, empowering story underscores the importance of finding one's own voice as a writer. Visiting author Ms. Mirabel comes to Lucy's fourth grade class to teach about the power of words and writing-lessons which subtly but powerfully change the lives of Lucy and her four friends. Each of the five is dealing with his/her own small childhood tragedy (a new baby; a recently-deceased pet; an ill parent; a parent's remarriage), but as they discover their voice as writers, they also find ways to express their hopes and fears to those they love.
Ages 8-12.
