La La La: A Story of Hope

By Kate DiCamillo

Book Overview

Conceived by two-time Newbery Medalist Kate DiCamillo and featuring enchanting illustrations by Jaime Kim, this nearly wordless story, now in a board book edition, follows a little girl in search of a friend.

Kate DiCamillo conveys a lonely child's yearning for someone who understands, while Jaime Kim brings to life an endearing character and a landscape that invite readers along on the journey. A little girl stands alone and sings, but hears no response. Gathering her courage and her curiosity, she skips farther out into the world, singing more insistently, as day passes into night, as she climbs toward the light of the moon. Dejected, she falls asleep on the ground, only to be awakened by an amazing sound . . . Has she been heard, at last?
