(4) K-3 Illustrated by Melissa Castrillon. An earnest young girl lists a string of "If...then" scenarios: imagining fancifully what she would do if she had a bicycle, a garden, a brother, etc., giving each a conceptual name ("If I had a little bicycle, I would name it Wings") and envisioning it broadening her horizons. The sinuous digitally colored pencil illustrations work in harmony with the sometimes saccharine, loosely metered poems.
