Old favorites make comebacks this spring. Appearing in color for the first time, Sisters (1984) by David McPhail chronicles ""the story of two sisters.../ who, in many ways, were different./ .../ But [were] alike [in] the most special way of all."" McPhail's pen-and-inks are hand-colored by John O'Connor.
