Lila and the Crow

(4) K-3 When Nathan calls new girl Lila a crow because of her dark features, she's instantly disliked. Led by a friendly crow to its flock, Lila collects feathers to make a dramatic crow costume for the autumn festival, which earns her sudden acceptance in this somewhat unlikely story of otherness. Lila's inconsistently light skin contradicts the text, but Grimard's emotive illustrations are otherwise striking.
