(3) K-3 Illustrated by Elly MacKay. Maya is terrified during a monsoon until her mother's story about a jungle and her memories of Maya's recently deceased father help the little girl find beauty even in things that seem frightening. The meditative pacing blends with the soft, layered colors of MacKay's masterfully constructed "paper theater" illustrations, creating a dreamy depth that draws readers into Maya's external and internal worlds.
