(4) K-3 Illustrated by Maryann Kovalski. In this story set in Manhattan's Lower East Side in the 1930s, a young girl from Italy plants morning glories to help cheer up her homesick mother. Soon the vibrant flowers spread all over the city and revive the poor immigrant neighborhood. Energetic illustrations perk up the humdrum text.
