Synopsis: From the book: Anna Banana is fearless. She's not afraid of long dark hallways, where suddenly she calls, "Whoo-whee!" just to hear the echo. She swings in the playground higher than high. She always thinks of exciting things to do, and the small boy with whom she sometimes plays tries to do them also. Only, unlike Anna Banana, he is afraid, and when Anna Banana says, "Bye!" and runs off, he is left alone. But Anna Banana has said, "A feather is magic!" and one day, when the small boy has been frightened by Anna Banana's story of a horrible goblin and left alone again, he makes real magic happen when he needs it most. This childlike and poetical story, which recognizes the fears and triumphs of small children, stems from Lenore Blegvad's own early experiences. For it, Erik Blegvad has made marvelously evocative full-color pictures that reflect and enhance the magic of the story in this very special book. Pictures are described, and this file should make an excellent embossed braille copy.
