About the Author:
From Kirkus Reviews:
Katherine Paterson is one of the world’s most celebrated and beloved authors. Among her many awards are two Newberys and two National Book Awards, and she was recently named a "Living Legend” by the Library of Congress. She has been published in more than 22 languages in a variety of formats, from picture books to historical novels.
No one loves cross Rosie but Marvin; she steps on feet, switches faces with her tail, and shoves the people on Brock's farm. Only Marvin understands that ``Rosie is mad because Mr. Brock took away her calf.'' Then Mr. Brock sells his farm, Rosie and all. Dad has to find a new job, and Marvin is inconsolable- -until he begins to keep a tiny, invisible new ``Rosie'' in a bottle. When he starts school, this Rosie makes Marvin the butt of teasing until his older sister comes up with a perfect face- saver, allowing him to go on enjoying his unusual imaginary friend--at home. Like Paterson's books for older readers, this pint-sized novel treats life's real troubles with sensitivity; and, as might be expected, the author adopts the constraints of the easy reader (her first) with grace and good humor. Brown's unassuming realistic illustrations deftly extend the story, catching the nuances of this nice family's emotions and some authentic details of present-day farming.
