(3) K-3 Illustrated by Isabelle Follath. When Fern learns that "joy is what makes your heart happy and your eyes twinkle," she realizes Nanna has lost her joy (a.k.a. "her whoosh!"). A bleak, dark-hued illustration reveals a wheelchair, suggesting Nanna's recent limited mobility as the reason. Loving heroine Fern is determined to recapture joy for Nanna, a challenging but unexpectedly successful endeavor depicted in a series of gloriously colorful illustrations.
