Twice Told: Original Stories Inspired by Original Artwork

A child in a bunny suit stands in a field. Does the picture reveal a secret about a parent's past-or show a lonely boy adrift in a new town? An ax lies on the kitchen table next to a freshly baked cake. An instrument for a strange rite of passage or the weapon in a ghastly murder? Each drawing in this collection serves as inspiration for two short stories. M. T. Anderson, Ellen Wittlinger, and Ron Koertge are among the authors who lend their imaginations to nine mysterious scenes.
