(3) K-3 Illustrated by Vali Mintzi. In a story reminiscent of the Brothers Grimm, a girl is rewarded for her kindness to a strange old lady, but her cruel stepsister, who doesn't "listen to her heart," fails to earn the same magical rewards from the woman. The book successfully calls on traditional tales for tone and structure but feels fresh with elegant, color-rich gouache art and a distinctive setting.
