(4) K-3 Illustrated by Dan Andreasen. In this story written in strong, rhythmic verse, Kay describes an English family's journey to the New World in 1635. Spare, precise language captures both the drama and hardship of the trip, although the family's new life in America is slightly romanticized. Andreasen's gentle green and blue artwork extend the dramatic mood of the story.
