(2) K-3 Illustrated by Marion Arbona. In this inviting story, a boy jumping on his backyard trampoline sees the world from all-new perspectives. Vivid colors and vertical lines dominate the spreads of him jumping, juxtaposed with warm blues and swirling lines in the illustrations showing him, fantastically, suspended in the ether. A girl joins him on the trampoline; the last spread, in which they've jumped above a rainbow, bursts with color and exuberance.

(3) K-3 Translated by Sophie B. Watson. Illustrated by Marion Arbona. In this pensive climate-change story from the perspective of a young Iñupiat girl living on a small Alaskan island, the rising ocean is embodied as a sea monster bent on devouring the girl's traditional wintry homeland. With splatters, swirls, and other stormy patterns, Arbona's art adeptly visualizes the story's focus: the girl's worries about what will happen to her family and home. Glos.

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Marion Arbona. After being sent to the study to "think things over," a reluctant reader picks up a "good little book" and falls in love.

Vibrant, bold, borderline-surreal gouache paintings enliven this (somewhat didactic) fable that will probably appeal most to book-loving kids.

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Marion Arbona. At first, Sam's new pet, Temper, comes in handy; it certainly helps him get what he wants. But Temper--a dark scribbly creature with a big red mouth--soon runs amok, and Sam is in trouble until he figures out how to take control. The mixed-media art for this gently didactic but still amusing tale features eye-catching patterns and compositions.
