(3) K-3 Illustrated by Anna Vojtech. In a tale from the Scandinavian tradition, Vanishia, the daughter of the moon, rejects the fiery son of the sun and marries one of the Brothers of the Northern Lights, bringing the sun's vengeance upon herself and her husband. Luminous watercolors in contrasting blue and yellow tones with strong lines sweeping across wide skies lend a dreamy quality to this tragic tale.
