(2) K-3 Illustrated by Kimberly Bulcken Root. Winter retells his father's tales of growing up poor in East Texas. The family enjoyed good times “learning to love those things that didn't cost a single penny.” This window into an era when people took scarcity for granted is effectively visualized in Root's pencil, ink, and watercolor art. Eight vintage snapshots of the family appear on the endpapers.
