(3) K-3 Illustrated by Guridi. Ali lives in the desert with his ailing great-grandmother, who has one last dream: she longs to see the ocean. The next day, Ali sets off with a bucket to fulfill the wish. This tearjerker (imported from France) about the immeasurable value of heartfelt gifts is all the more affecting because the adorable, jug-eared little Ali, poised against sand-swept mixed-media landscapes, is so lovable.
