(3) K-3 Translated by Jane Springer. Low-key advice about finding your own course through life is simply expressed in terse poetic text. But it's Starkoff's naive, intensely hued acrylic paintings, digitally finished, that will draw children repeatedly back to this Brazilian import with an appropriate long-horizontal orientation. Boats on the unnamed river are filled with people (most are brown-skinned) playing music, preparing food, attending "Happiness School," and more.
