(3) K-3 Illustrated by Anne Wilsdorf. To win a writing contest, a young author consults her family for ideas. She tries out each suggestion--action, humor, pathos, romance--in turn. But it isn't until she follows her mother's advice and writes from the heart that she pens a story to be proud of. Lively energy and imagination permeate both the watercolor and ink illustrations and the warm text.
