Written and Illustrated by Emily Winfield Martin
Delia, the newest arrival to the orphange, is a delicate flower that grows to love her new home and family. This well-written story relates Delia’s experinces with a hedgehog, an onion head boy, bears and best friend Ava. I especially enjoyed the chapter on the circus. I could feel the delight the children felt when they saw their own bears perform.
