(4) K-3 Illustrated by Rob Ryan. A young girl has an epiphany in the woods: "she wanted to be buried in this plot of land when she died." She lives her life and achieves her goal. This contemplative story, with its quiet, cryptic narration, will speak more to adults than to children. The accompanying cut-paper silhouette illustrations are intricate and lovely.
