The Rainbow Tulip

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Elizabeth Sayles. Stella doesn't want to be limited to one color when the girls in her class dress as tulips for the May parade. But in her rainbow-tulip costume, she discovers that it can be embarrassing to stand out like her Mexican-American mother, who watches the parade alone because she can't speak English. Gauzy sunlit images enhance this quiet tale about the conflicts of assimilation.
