Watts Bernadette - Varenka - Hardcover

Binding: Hardcover
Description: A story of friendship and faith. Varenka lives contently in her cottage in the woods until passersby warn her that war has broken out. Pack up a bundle and come along with us. But Varenka can t leave. Who will care for the children who wander and get lost in the forest? Who will shelter the animals and feed the birds when winter comes? Soon Varenka shelters a young artist an old farmer and his goat and a lost child. And each night she prays for a wall to be built around her house to protect her from the soldiers who draw nearer with each passing day. Things seem dire until Varenka notices a gentle sound all around the house. Snow. Could it be enough to save them? This is a Bernadette Watts classic with its timeless message of courage compassion and faith. A master in choosing a palette. Eric Carle Starred Review " The resemblance to current - day displacement due to war is hauntingly similar the Byzantine - like faces are beautifully crafted in soft pastel colors while Watts's writing follows traditional folktale cadence.
