(3) K-3 Illustrated by Nicoletta Ceccoli. Granted one wish after saving a faerie's life, a poor woodcutter can't decide whether to request the baby he and his wife have longed for, the restoration of his aged mother's eyesight, or wealth that would lift his family from poverty. The luminescent art is marked by unusual perspectives. The text is long for a picture book, but the woodcutter's story "found in many forms across many cultures," will hold readers' interest.
