(3) K-3 Illustrated by Matt Ottley. "Once there was a boy who had to leave his home...and find another." So begins a lad's solo journey by boat with few possessions, among them a teacup full of earth that grows into a food-and-shelter-providing tree. Equal parts parable and poem, Young's story, which features stormy seas and creatures seemingly spun from clouds, is tailor-made for Ottley's impasto art.
