(3) K-3 Translated by Sally-Ann Spencer. A woman named Elise is too fearful to leave her house. After a paper airplane flies through her window, a boy comes looking for it and invites himself in for a friendly visit. The story's originality (text translated from the German) extends to its photographed art, which features cut-out characters set against handmade backdrops; as the intergenerational friendship blossoms, so does the book's color scheme.
Reviewer: Nell Beram
