Praise for Read Me a Story, Stella: Ontario Library Associatian Best Bet Ruth and Sylvia Schwartz Children's Picture Book Award Toronto Public Library's First and Best "Gay's watercolor, pencil, pastel and collage illustrations fill each scene with a riot of details for children to pore over again and again. A perfect summer's day bound in 32 pages." -- Kirkus Review "This relatively quiet picture book glows with the warmth of the supportive (but never sappy) sibling relationship that defines the Stella and Sam series. the appealing illustrations offer plenty of details for prereaders to notice and ponder." -- Booklist "Gay's mainly watercolor illustrations perfectly capture a lazy summer day. This low-key story of sibling love, nature, fun activities, subtle humor, and reading is a winner on all fronts." -- School Library Journal "The delicately sketched outdoor scenes are full of butterflies, birds, wildflowers, and puffy white clouds, lending a sense of purity to the natural setting, while Stella's mess of auburn curls draws attention to her sweet face. This is an excellent model both of positive sibling relations and of the way books and stories can naturally play into everyday life.

" -- Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books "This title is a great addition to Gay's Stella and Sam series." -- Library Media Connections, starred review.
