(4) K-3 Illustrated by Ann Grifalconi. Julio, a little boy growing up in rural Mexico, is gifted at carving wooden animals. But rather than enter them in the annual contest and possibly earn much-needed money, he helps his near-blind mentor win the contest instead. Grifalconi's collage illustrations, made from fuzzy digitally manipulated photographs, distance the reader from Dorros's spare, moving story.
