(3) 1-3 Illustrated by Anik McGrory. Shy first grader Monty isn't sure he wants to be a "budding actor" in the school play. Later, he joins a karate class, one of the few sports he can do despite his asthma, and voluntarily participates in the class exhibition. This gentle story, illustrated with good-natured black-and-white watercolors, uses empathy and humor to win over readers.
