(3) K-3 Illustrated by Lynne Russell. Anholt's prose has far more liveliness than his protagonist Ella, a serious child who finds the sunshine within herself only after her grandmother gives her the key to her summerhouse, built as a reminder of her former island home. Russell's vivid, color-drenched pastels are equally adept at capturing character and evoking the fantasy island world of the summerhouse.
