(4) K-3 Illustrated by Jed Henry. A little girl dreams of building the perfect playground in her urban neighborhood. One day a community organizer shows up to do just that; after showing him her ideas, he makes the girl "project manager." The author's note explains that the uplifting (if idealized) story is based on a real project by KaBOOM!, a national nonprofit organization. Sunny digital illustrations underscore the sense of community.
