Irene is the dressmaker's daughter. When her mother falls sick, Irene comes to the dramatic rescue by delivering the ballgown to the duchess herself — in a snowstorm! Steig's charming story of self-sacrifice and the unexpected delights of doing the right thing are beautifully told with his delicate illustrations.

Brave Irene is a 1986 New York Times Book Review Best Illustrated Book of the Year.
