(3) K-3 Translated by Michael Neugebauer. Illustrated by Zaü. In terse, first-person sentences, a boy describes the emotional ups and downs during his regular visits, accompanied by his quiet mother, to his incarcerated father. The French import is illustrated with strong, expressionistic sketches in black, gray, and white on cream-colored backgrounds. With few books on the topic, this unusual, mature picture book should find its place in libraries.
