(4) K-3 Illustrated by Nicole Wong. After Daniel, a boy pretending to be a cowboy, and his aunt come upon offensive graffiti directed at the local candy shop's Taiwanese-American owner, he takes action that seems befitting to a cowboy. Daniel's voice isn't always convincing, but the story, featuring Wong's warm, secondary-color-heavy images, is well paced, rich with details, and wholly original.
