(2) K-3 Illustrated by Ashley Crowley. A cat and "his boy" take a walk on the night of a blue moon, when "anything can happen." They come to a lake, climb into a waiting boat, and have a magical adventure--including a trip to the moon. The text is appropriately fanciful and lyrical; the mixed-media illustrations use gouache, graphite sticks, pastels, colored pencils, and a water brush pen to attain deeply saturated blues.

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Ashley Crowley. Kai describes his feelings about his father's recent death as "waves" that come over him "in no special order": sad waves, mad waves, even sometimes happy waves. When his family joins a group of other bereaved families, Kai learns coping techniques. The naive, childlike mixed-media illustrations express emotional changes through color. A useful book for individualized child-adult sharing. An author's note and resources are appended.
