Mathilda and the Orange Balloon

32 pp. | HarperCollins/Balzer + Bray | March, 2010 | Trade ISBN 978-0-06-172685-9 $16.99
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Jen Corace. Young sheep Mathilda's world is filled with "Gray skies. Gray stones. Gray sheep, gray sheep, gray sheep." When an orange balloon floats by, Mathilda's imagination fills with color, as she realizes "anything was possible." Corace's uncluttered illustrations with lots of white space match the simple story and capture the optimism of the buoyant (literally) little sheep.
