(3) K-3 Illustrated by Paula Gerritsen. Whenever Lila runs out of bread, she wishes on a falling star. Each time, a bag of flour mysteriously appears at her door. Finally, as the long winter comes to an end, Lila makes a new wish with a surprising result. This quiet, gentle narrative is enhanced by its expansive illustrations, the details of which foreshadow the story's conclusion.
