(1) K-3 Handsome spreads eloquently depict the fortunes of an eaglet, born from an abandoned egg, who takes triumphant flight. Young's palette is dark--a somber sandstone background with flecks of subdued reds and traces of sky-blues. The minimal text is nearly superfluous: freely sketched figures, rendered in soft, evanescent strokes, not only tell the story but also suggest ideas that transcend it.
