(2) K-3 Illustrated by Gabi Swiatkowska. Looking up at the stars, Uma feels "very, very small" and begins to think about infinity. She asks around and receives a potpourri of interpretations and explanations. Uma's musings are perfectly childlike, and she lands on her own practical understanding: "my love for [Grandma] was as big as infinity." Swiatkowska illustrates the text with appropriately disorienting details that combine to a visually stunning effect.
