(3) K-3 Illustrated by Akin Duzakin. As its title suggests, this heady Norwegian import addresses existential questions to do with one's place in the world, as well as the experiences of people elsewhere. Lyrical text works seamlessly with Duzakin's evocative pastel and colored-pencil illustrations to introduce readers to a range of "what if?" scenarios (many on bleak topics such as war) that should prompt reflective, empathetic responses.
