Publisher's Note
On the last night of December, a little girl huddles in the bitter cold, unable to go home until she has sold her bundle of matches. One by one, she lights the matches to keep warm, and, as each match lights, the girl's cold, grey world dissolves into visions of light and warmth, each more beautiful than the last. Isadora's luminous paintings tell this classic story of a valiant spirit set free at last. Full color.

Industry Reviews
"The text, in the form of Bell's graceful translation, appears on the left-hand page, with Pacovska's stark collages filling up the page opposite--and frequently interposing one or more wordless double-page spreads in between pages of text. The result is not a conventional picture book, or even an illustrated story, but more of a narrative that dances back and forth between text and image...."
