With a lyrical text and gorgeous, ethereal illustrations, here is a mesmerizing and magical original bedtime fairy tale reminiscent of Emily Winfield Martin’s Dream Animals, and perfect for reading aloud.

They say there's a girl
Who lives by the woods
In a crooked old house
With no garden but gloom.
 
She doesn't have parents.
No one knows her name.
 
But the people in town
Call her Wee Sister Strange. 
 
Like Emily Winfield Martin’s bestselling Dream Animals, here is a bedtime read-aloud sure to entrance young listeners. Each evening, as the shadows grow long, Wee Sister Strange climbs from her window and runs into the woods. She talks to the owls and rides on a bear. She clambers up trees and dives into the bog. She is searching for something.... She looks far and wide, over forest and marsh. What is it she seeks? Why, it's a wee bedtime story to help her fall asleep!
HOLLY GRANT likes to dream about magic hiding in birthday candles and silver snow globes and golden keyholes and peculiarful books squirreled away in forgotten nooks and crannies.  Her lifelong hope is to discover a secret door that opens upon a mysterious and wonderful place.  In the meantime, she lives in Colorado and writes stories for children like you.
