(3) K-3 Illustrated by David A. Johnson. The narrator alternately describes her public shyness ("I don't catch the Frisbee. / I just let it fall") and her private fearlessness ("I dance. / I leap and I spin and I prance"). The patterns of her rhymes harmonize with the dynamically illustrated spreads, in which the girl sometimes appears multiple times--a fitting comment on the many aspects of oneself.
