The Little Match Girl

The luminous art of three-time Caldecott Honor recipient Jerry Pinkney transforms the nineteenth-century Danish girl of Andersen's tale into a child plucked straight from America's melting pot, shedding new light on the invisibility of the poor among the prosperous-a circumstance as familiar in Andersen's day as it is in our own.

"[A] beautifully illustrated version of a classic tale."(Booklist, starred review)

I'd never heard this story before but I saw it mentioned on the Gilmore Girls book challenge. It's a very short story but it packs a punch. I'm going to go cry in bed now, thanks.
