Little Blue is lost in the woods, and cannot find her way home.  When a boy stumbles upon her, they begin a journey to find the blue-haired girl’s native land, and it turns out the two children’s homes may not be worlds away from each other as they first seem.  In the simple style of a folktale, Chapman weaves a lovely story about searching for home, complete with a sweet surprise ending.  The illustrations are magnificently detailed – Little Blue’s descriptions of home comes to life with sketchy blue colored pencil, and the terrain through which the two friends travel is softly colored and intricate.  Every detail, from the simple prose to Little Blue’s beautiful dress, is lovingly and carefully created.  A perfect book for story time.
