“It seems like the recipe for Ernestine’s Milky Way is to fill a mason jar with the words of Kerry Madden-Lunsford and the pictures of Emily Sutton, add a spoonful of Barbara Cooney, William Steig, and Virginia Lee Burton, then shake it up into this fresh concoction of classic storytelling and energetic art. This book reads like butter.” -Marla Frazee, two-time Caldecott Honor-winning illustrator “Ernestine is five and a big girl. Or so she she says. But is she brave enough to go up the mountain and deliver two mason jars full of new milk to their needy neighbors? This delicious period story with its warmly inviting illustrations has some surprises along the way. But they get us right into the heart of the story. And what a good heart it is!” -Jane Yolen, author of Owl Moon and How Do Dinosaurs Say Goodnight, and A Bear Sat On My Porch Today.
