(3) K-3 Illustrated by Domi. Napí, a Mexican Mazateca girl, describes the colors of afternoon as her family sits along the river's edge listening to her grandfather tell stories. When she dreams, Napí is a heron flying over her beautiful village admiring nature. The dreamlike acrylic illustrations reflect the beauty Napí sees in her surroundings and are a good match for the stream-of-consciousness narrative.
