(2) K-3 Illustrated by Stephen Gammell. The narrator recounts two of her elderly neighbor's stories. The first tells how he followed a star that fell from the sky. The second is about coming upon the end of a rainbow. Lyon's words are spare, never florid, for an elegantly powerful effect with silence built in. Gammell's art effectively intersperses grays with exuberant rainbow shades.
