Summary: Sheila Rae is the bravest girl at school; she is not afraid of anything. But when she gets lost, it is her sister Louise who must step up and bravely lead them home.
Butterfly’s notes: A triumph for little sisters everywhere! It is great that Louise looks up to her sister throughout the book and has to come to her rescue at the end. Sheila Rae has a great imagination- I love the things she does to display her bravery because they show a very child-like view of the world.
