(3) K-3 Illustrated by M. Sarah Klise. Kate Klise assumes the voice of real-life giantess Ella Kate Ewing (b. 1872), who, at eight feet, four inches tall, achieved financial independence as a traveling-circus attraction. The story's particulars are startling, but the book's message, best expressed by its title, applies to readers of all sizes. M. Sarah Klise's capable art shows an outsize woman with heart, grit, and grace.
