(2) K-3 Illustrated by Neil Brennan. In eighteen free-verse poems, Kurtz tells the story of the flood of 1997 that devastated Grand Forks, North Dakota. Written from a young girl's point of view, the poems recount one family's experiences. The child's voice is consistent throughout, and her concerns are credible. Oil paintings with a slightly fuzzy focus soften the experience a bit without lessening the emotional power of the poems.
