Loud Emily
By Alexis O’Neill, illustrated by Nancy Carpenter
Born with a voice loud enough to shatter plates, young Emily finally finds her niche as a substitute lighthouse, warning ships away from the rocks. Carpenter’s oil illustrations in the style of early 19th century folk art add to the humor.
