(3) K-3 Illustrated by Bronwyn Bancroft. While visiting Australia with her mother, Ally meets Pauline, an Aboriginal artist, who encourages Ally to see beauty in unexpected places. Pauline's observations about Ally's work are eye-opening ("Crocodiles bite, kangaroos bounce, koalas curl...Every picture has a story to tell"). The rich acrylic illustrations outlined thickly in black creatively incorporate motifs from Aboriginal artwork.
