PICTURE BOOKS
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Akin Duzakin. This poignant Norwegian import can be a discussion-starter. Walking together through a park, young William and his aging grandmother compare their fears--he worries about wild animals and disasters, she fears dying and "losing everything I love"--and offer each other comfort. The illustrations alternate between dark, dramatic views of William's imagined fears and the peaceful, woodsy scenes Grandma cherishes in the moment.
