(3) K-3 Illustrated by Matt Phelan. Mia narrates this story about a new classmate's acclimation, which is ultimately ensured by Mia's own kindness. She asks a lot of questions ("How can someone feel at home when she's at school?"?); Robbins offers no easy answers but, instead, humor and a satisfying conclusion. Much emotion is packed into the spare, subtle, sketchlike art.
