Miz Berlin Walks Paperback - 2000

by Jane Yolen; Floyd Cooper (Illustrator)

A friendship between an elderly Miz Berlin and a little girl develops when Mary Louise follows Miz Berlin as she walks around the block talking to herself. Mary Louise finds Miz Berlin is telling wonderful stories, and when Miz Berlin can no longer walk, she leaves the girl stuffed full of stories to tell. Full-color illustrations.


From the publisher

Powerhouses Jane Yolen and Floyd Cooper come together to tell this heartwarming story of an unexpected friendship. Every evening, old as she is, Miz Berlin walks down the long block, past Mary Louise's house, talking to herself. One day Mary Louise catches up to Miz Berlin and walks with her. She is spellbound by the stories the old woman tells: block-long stories and two-day stories about how she caught crawdaddies the day the sky rained feathers, or about the day the flood rose right to her front door. Now every evening, Mary Louise walks with Miz Berlin, then runs on home, stuffed full of her own stories to tell. "This poignant book conveys through simple words the power of stories to build bridges between two very different people."--Booklist "Yolen is pitch-perfect in her delivery of this tender tale."--Publishers Weekly

First line

Well, child, I recall once upon a time an old woman lived on our street, oldest woman I'd ever seen.
