Moulton, Erin. Flutter: The Story of Four Sisters and One Incredible Journey. New York: Philomel Books, 2011. 200p.
Maple, the second oldest of four sisters, and her older sister Dawn embark upon a perilous journey through the wilderness to find a cure for their youngest sister Lily, who was born prematurely. Throughout this journey, they test their bonds of sisterhood while risking their lives in search of a miracle. Use this beautifully-written book, filled with symbolism and adventure, as a rich read-aloud, or place it in the hands of students who will relate to the ups and downs of sisterhood themselves.
