When Vera Was Sick - Softcover
A comforting story about one brave little girl.
"Vera was sick.
She had spots all over her body, even between her toes and inside her ears. The doctor said she must stay in bed."
Vera is sick. Mother puts her in the spare room and rubs lotion on all her spots. She brings in Vera's favorite pillow and tells her to try and sleep. But the sickroom is lonely and kind of scary. The wallpaper looks like it's making funny faces at Vera, and try as she might, she can't fall asleep. All Vera can do is scratch her spots.
Any child who has shared the woes of being sick will find comfort and humor in this tender story about one brave little girl.

About the Author:
Vera Rosenberry is the author and illustrator of four books about Vera and the illustrator of The Bug Cemetery by Frances Hill. Ms. Rosenberry lives in Cambridgeshire, England, with her husband.
From School Library Journal:
PreSchool-Grade 1–Poor Vera has the chicken pox in this picture book written and illustrated by Vera Rosenberry (Holt, 1998). Feeling terrible, shes reluctant to be confined to bed in the lonely, scary spare room. The sounds of normal daily life outside her sickroom add to her fevered dismay. Veras mother, father, and older sister bring her meals and help entertain her. Children will easily relate to Veras struggles with, and eventual victory over, her illness. Read by Laura Hamilton in a subtly childlike manner, with appropriate sound effects and music, Rosenberrys picture book memoir comes to life. A good choice for children working their way through an illness of their own.–Jennifer Verbrugge, Dakota County Library, Burnhaven Branch, Burnsville, MN
