The House on Dirty-Third Street

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Thomas Gonzalez. After the narrator and her mother move into a filthy, ramshackle house, the girl appeals to fellow church members for support. This is fertile storytelling ground, but help arrives (whether because mother and daughter looked "through eyes of faith" or because people are generally kind) implausibly quickly. Gonzalez has a talent for capturing human expressions and proportions.
