(4) K-3 Illustrated by Michael Dooling. In the midst of Northern Ireland's "Troubles," two young girls--one Catholic, the other Protestant--reach out to each other on a crowded street and exchange peaceful tokens and honest words. While hopeful, Bunting's lengthy and purposeful text is more lesson than story. Dooling's subdued paintings convey mood, but figures sometimes look posed.
