(3) K-3 Illustrated by Shirley Ng-Benitez. A young girl navigates the changes that come with shuttling back and forth between two family homes after her parents' separation. Amidst new routines and uncertainties, she struggles to adjust until a heart drawn on a train window helps her to discover she is loved no matter where she goes. Slice-of-life illustrations with lively colors, soft textures, and a recurring motif of heart-shaped objects create expressive, emotionally layered imagery. A sensitive, hopeful portrayal of a child’s journey through divorce.
