(2) K-3 The story of a young immigrant girl from an unnamed country is told in a pair of back-to-back picture books. The first describes Marianthe's adjustment to her American school; the second (arrived at by flipping the book over) allows the girl to tell her own story of why she and her mother came to this country. Aliki's drawings are warm and expansive, giving heart to the somewhat purposive text.
