Pinny in Summer

(4) 1-3 Illustrated by Isabelle Malenfant. Pinny is having a perfect summer day: she finds a striped wishing stone, watches clouds, picks blueberries with two friends, and bakes a cake; her serenity is never upended, despite a brief rainstorm and a cake-snatching seagull. Though the four chapters are brief, they're not readily decodable for newly independent readers. Lavender-hued pastel and pencil illustrations mirror the text's sweet tone.
