(3) K-3 Illustrated by Luc Melanson. Upset schoolboy Brandon claims he is now a zombie with enemy-destroying tears, and his two friends vow to have his back. Gradually, readers learn that a female classmate had just called Brandon a fairy for wearing a crown and flower. This subtle tale about gender nonconformity and bullying features gentle illustrations foregrounding an enviably loyal friendship.
