(3) K-3 A recent second-grade graduate reminisces about his school year, recounting how he has evolved academically ("I can spell neighborhood") and socially ("When I started second grade, I wasn't friends with Joseph. Or William or Tommy or Sam or George. Now I am"). Both the spare text and affectionate art in watercolor and ink give weight to the seemingly small, everyday details of children's lives.
