Illustrated by
Tara Calahan King.
On the first day of school, all of the kids find Velvet odd, but after they've gotten used to her imaginative ways, they realize that perhaps she isn't so odd after all. With their skewed perspectives and large-headed characters, newcomer King's lively, offbeat pencil and pastel illustrations make the text's obvious message of tolerance a little easier to swallow.
