Great Joy
By Kate DiCamillo
Illustrated by Bagram Ibatoulline
A timeless holiday story of compassion and joy.
An organ grinder and his monkey appear on the street corner outside Frances’ apartment. She can see them from her window and, sometimes, when it’s quiet, she can hear their music. When it is her turn to speak in the Christmas play, all she can think about is the organ grinder’s sad eyes until Frances finds the perfect words to share, just in time.
- Kate DiCamillo and Bagram Ibatoulline’s collaboration "The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane" was runner up for the 2006 WOW! award.
- A joyful Christmas story featuring traditional, atmospheric illustrations.
