(3) K-3 Illustrated by Marla Frazee. A group of children sees the potential of a hill with a lone tree; the kids discuss their idea with parents, who in turn bring it to others. After the community pitches in on construction, a beautiful playground--with the pink-blossomed tree at its center--is the result. Frazee's vignette-style pencil and watercolor art shapes Clinton's spare text into an inspirational full story.
