(3) K-3 Illustrated by Paul Hoppe. Devon is fascinated with the "metal man," a local urban sculpture artist; his mother less appreciatively calls him the "junk man" ("That ain't art, it's junk"). Devon gets the chance to create his own work of art, and his mother comes around. The mixed-media limited-palette illustrations emphasize the story's focus on mentorship.
