(2) K-3 In this wordless story told through paneled graphite art, a boy's anxiety manifests itself as a swarm of little black demons. He starts to feel that part of him is being eroded and notices a chunk missing from his arm. Before book's end, when the boy makes an overture of friendship, the story may strike readers as almost unbearably sad, but they may also find it revelatory.
