Little Match Girl
Little Match Girl | Jerry Pinkney
2 posts | 3 read
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. "[A] beautifully illustrated version of a classic tale."("Booklist," starred review)

This was on a Christmas book list and when I got done I thought it was the most depressing Christmas story. Man, it's depressing no matter what time of year!

Such a sad story. Provides great illustrations for those who are new to the storyline. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
