(3) K-3 Illustrated by Lauren Stringer. A little girl encounters a deer in the woods, then tries to emulate his gracefulness in her ballet class. Later, frustrated with her mistakes in class, she returns to dance with the deer without self-consciousness. Poetic text and soft, sun-dappled acrylic illustrations capture the enchantment of their duet, the hidden clearing, and the girl's love of movement.
