(3) PS "I got a new friend. / She’s kind of shy," begins a simple first-person text as clean pencil and watercolor illustrations show a little (brown-skinned) girl and a puppy tentatively scoping each other out. Perceptive viewers may notice that the statements (e.g., "My friend is a sloppy eater") are true of both canine and girl in the pictures; the satisfying ending reveals the puppy as narrator.
