Dear Librarian

By Lydia M. Sigwarth, Farrar, Straus and Giroux.

"Galotta uses an array of media, including watercolors and colored pencils, to lovingly reflect the heroine’s inner emotions and thoughts in the details and background on each page . . . This touching story celebrates the joys of friendship, finding a home, and the power of libraries. Pair with similar picture books such as Sam ­McBratney’s Will You Be My Friend? and James Dean’s Pete the Cat Checks Out the Library." —School Library Journal, starred review

"Galotta enriches the nostalgic undertones with glimpses of lush flowers, tiny robots, a dragon, and other imaginary elements . . . A cogent, warming reminder that public libraries have always been more than just repositories for books."Kirkus Reviews
