It also means Uncle Arthur should be here to tell his stories, with a twinkle in his eye as he spins tales about how he came to have a missing finger. But this is the first year without Aunt Lucy, and when Uncle Arthur arrives, there's no twinkle to be found and no stories waiting to be told. Faith is certain, though, that with a little love and patience, she and Peter might finally learn the truth about that missing finger. Paired with warm, expressive illustrations by Amy June Bates, this heartfelt tale by award-winning poet Helen Frost highlights the strength of family and the power of a good story.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHelen Frost\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eStep Gently Out, Sweep Up the Sun, \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eAmong a Thousand Fireflies, \u003c\/i\u003eall illustrated by Rick Lieder, and \u003ci\u003eMonarch and Milkweed, \u003c\/i\u003e illustrated by Leonid Gore, as well as six novels-in-poems for children and young adults.
