(3) K-3 Illustrated by Cyd Moore. It's the mid-1800s, and prairie dweller Katie, her dad, and the townsfolk take up a collection, order some trees by telegraph, plant them, and begin a tradition of gathering in celebration once a year. This quiet story's primary value is its window onto a simpler time, reflected in the verdant watercolor and colored-pencil illustrations.
