Jamaica Tag-Along
Illustrated by Anne Sibley O'Brien
Jamaica wants to play basketball with her elder brother and his friends, but Ossie won't let her and when she tries to join in she's banished to the sandpit. There her own play is disrupted by a small boy who wants her to build a sandcastle. This gentle parable about a commonplace situation and the feelings engendered is superbly illustrated by an artist whose sympathetic depictions of the children and their emotions have an eloquence of their own.
