This rediscovered gem by Caldecott-winning illustrator Roger Duvoisin is perfect for a new generation of little girls who love dolls. In the city of Paris, a beautiful but lonely doll sits on a shelf in an antique shop. She’s surrounded by old vases and teapots, but longs for a friend to play with. There is one little girl who would dearly love to own the doll, but Marie could never afford such a precious item. So Marie has to settle for admiring the doll through the window on her way home from school. But Marie and this doll are clearly meant for one another, and Marie will make sure that the doll has a home where she is loved. First published in the 1950s but long out of print, this rediscovered gem by Roger Duvoisin and his wife, Louise Fatio, is available again, ready to be read to little girls—and dolls—of a new generation.

From School Library Journal PreS-Gr 1—First published in 1957 but long out of print, this rediscovered title by the remarkable husband-and-wife creative team is available again, ready to be read by a new generation of children—and their dolls (a mini book is included). Roger Duvoisin illustrated more than 100 books, many by his wife, Louise Fatio. He won the Caldecott Medal in 1947 for White Snow, Bright Snow and a Caldecott Honor in 1966 for Hide and Seek Fog, both written by Alvin Tresselt. Louise Fatio is probably best known for her "Happy Lion" books, all illustrated by her husband. In this story, a fancy, beautifully dressed doll sits on a shelf in an antique shop in Paris, surrounded by a Persian vase and a Chinese teapot, but longs for a different fate. "'This is no way for a doll to live,' she sighed. 'If only I had a little girl to play with.'" One girl, the mailman's daughter Marie, walks past on her way to school and regularly admires the doll, but could never afford such a pricey item. One day the doll is purchased by an old woman, but her home is not much different from the antique shop. However, once the old woman's pets get a hold of the newcomer, her fancy clothes and accessories are ruined and the doll is left in the gutter, only to be rescued by Marie and given the kind of home she's always longed for. The three-color artwork is appropriately old-fashioned, expressive, and as appealing as ever. A satisfying read for anyone who has ever had a special attachment to a toy.
About the Author Louise Fatio was the author of several books, including the Happy Lion books, all illustrated by her artist husband, Roger Duvoisin. She was born in 1904 in Switzerland and died in 1993 in New Jersey. Roger Duvoisin wrote and illustrated forty books, including those about Petunia the silly goose and Veronica the hippopotamus, and illustrated over a hundred more by other authors, many with his wife, Louise. He received the Caldecott Medal in 1947 for White Snow, Bright Snow and a Caldecott Honor in 1966 for Hide and Seek Fog, both written by Alvin Tresselt. Roger Duvoisin died in 1980.
