(4) K-3 Illustrated by Yumi Heo. When a little girl has writer's block, her grandparents take her to a paint-your-own-pottery place. There she gets her artistic groove back. The book's premise strains credulity and the vertical format seems rather pointless, but the up-with-creativity message is worthwhile. Heo's illustrations recall the best detail work at a kids' art show.
