(3) K-3 Illustrated by London Ladd. In each free-verse poem, a child narrator recalls acting generously (sharing a sandwich, spending time with a lonely neighbor, etc.). Coupled with expansive, freeze-the-moment acrylic, colored-pencil, and pastel illustrations, frequent line breaks invite readers to move slowly through each poem and linger in the moments of kindness. Ladd's art particularizes the diverse array of narrators, themes, and settings.
