(3) K-3 Translated by Tessa Strickland. Illustrated by Carole Hénaff. Spoiled, beautiful Natasha strikes a deal with a strange old woman to live in a magical palace. She can only leave her palace in the form of a blue bird, as whom she witnesses poverty as she flies through the night skies. The contrast between selfishness and selflessness plays out against richly decorative acrylic paintings in this original tale "inspired by Russian folk tradition."
Reviewer: Lisa Catherine Findlay
