(3) K-3 Illustrated by Stéphanie Augusseau. Folks share their concerns with town listener Celia in exchange for seeds, which she spreads--"...and poof! They became beautiful balloons!" (or colored frosting, wildflowers, etc.). When a little boy loses his seed, he is sad until the woman locates it. The bighearted story's coping message is subtle, and shaded black-and-white drawings with well-executed bursts of color are splendidly uplifting.
