Emma

Motivated by a birthday gift, a 72-year-old woman begins to paint.

Kesselman, Wendy Ann

DOUBLEDAY

On Emma's seventy-second birthday her four children, seven grandchildren, and fourteen great-grandchildren gave her a painting of the little village across the mountains where she grew up. "It's beautiful," she said, but that was not what she was really thinking. "That's not how I remember it at all," she said to herself.One day Emma bought paints and brushes and painted her village just the way she remembered it. This was the beginning of a whole new life for her.Wendy Kesselman's delightful story was inspired by the artist Emma Stern, who began late in life, and Barbara Cooney's exquisite illustrations are based on Emma Stern's paintings.

"Wendy Kesselman has taken 'The Juniper Tree' (the Brothers Grimm story), and turned it into a haunting little musical in the shape of a ballad. . . . The events- including murder and cannibalism- are gruesome, but the telling has a childlike Story Theatre quality... as exemplified by her ballad of The Juniper Tree and her earlier play My Sister in This House, the versatile Miss Kesselman has a fabulist's view of guilt and retribution."
