(2) K-3 Illustrated by Antoinette Portis. In this tender, fable-like story, Billy Hightower's isolated life atop "the world's tallest building" changes when he catches a glimpse of "the girl in the red hat." Billy's attempts at communication are repeatedly foiled by the wind: it snatches his words, derails his paper airplane, and pulls Billy himself off the building. Teague's rhythmical, unadorned text is fleshed out by Portis's graphically arresting compositions.
