(4) K-3 Illustrated by Polona Kosec & Marcela Calderón. Estrella and Yosef get married and move from a small Moroccan village to the city of Casablanca, but their inexperience with the world creates jealousy and distrust when they both see their reflection in a mirror for the first time ("my husband has taken another wife!"). Evocative mahogany-hued illustrations and a unique setting somewhat compensate for oddly mature themes of vanity and infidelity.
