(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Rayner Alencar. Ebullient third grader Meena sees sparkles in snow, rainbows in puddles, and potential in other people's discards. She's upset and confused when her best friend seems to snub her; struggles with schoolwork and a scary medical diagnosis further shake her positive outlook. Support from Meena's loving extended family and her own resilience and creativity lead to reconciliation with her friend and new self-acceptance. An author's note provides information about epilepsy.
