(2) PS Illustrated by Fred Koehler. Pictures and design dance together to illuminate these seemingly bare-bones stories. "One day...I went to school. I came home. The end." But a double-page illustration shows that our pigtailed storyteller was late for school, her science experiment exploded, and ice cream redeemed the day. The pictures convey mood by gesture, color, and composition. The final episode reveals the overall narrative: how Pigtail Girl discovers herself as a writer.
