(3) K-3 Illustrated by Qin Leng. In a back-and-forth conversation written entirely on sticky notes, a mother reassures her child, who is reluctant about going to summer camp. Soft, expressive ink and watercolor illustrations show the two preparing as the departure date on the calendar nears and the mother's own reluctance to attend camp as a child is revealed. Art and text blend seamlessly in this warm, humorous story.
