Imagine a smart Little Red Riding Hood who wasn't one bit scared of the wolf. Flossie's just about the bravest, smartest little girl I've ever seen in a children's book. Terrific character.

I've never made it through this book without crying. With the support of his grandfather, a blind Navaho boy achieves an amazing goal. Touching and inspiring.
