(3) K-3 Illustrated by Judith Gueyfier. At their Nepali market, Chandra and her sister Deena see a tuki lantern that doesn't need fuel--it's solar. Thinking such a lamp, rather than their smoky kerosene one, might cure their baby brother's cough, the girls earn money to buy one by selling flowers. The story's unusual subject matter, afterword on Nepal, and bright illustrations with pleasing swirled designs create interest.
