(4) K-3 An inspirational drama teacher helps Patricia overcome her fear of public speaking. "Patricia, let the play take you," advises the wise teacher. Polacco's trademark pencil and marker illustrations reveal character, capturing Patricia's progression from scenery painter to stand-in lead character in the winter play. Reds, yellows, and blues convey warmth in the well-paced but text-heavy story.
