Her size and the task’s scale frame a simple story about determination and kindness. This 90th-anniversary hardcover pairs the original text with newly reimagined artwork by Dan Santat. It also includes an introduction from Santat and a letter from Dolly Parton, founder of Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library.
