Years and years ago, I recall reading this short, illustrated children's book that involved a girl with what I think was an eye disease, who needed to have an operation, and a phoenix or firebird (I don't remember how the latter was involved). I can't remember what it was called. The girl's mother kept asking her if the girl was ready to have the operation, and I think she had several brothers and/or sisters. The last page had her in bed, in hospital, with a blindfold. I also think that the girl and her family, and possibly the author, were "ethnic," that is; Hispanic, or native-American, or some such.
