PICTURE BOOKS
Lyon, George Ella

One Lucky Girl

(2) K-3 Illustrated by Irene Trivas. In this well-crafted picture book, a tornado approaches, hits, and scatters Nick's family's less well-crafted trailer, with his baby sister inside. The grownups search frantically for Becky under the debris, but it's Nick who finally finds her miraculously unharmed. Lyon's telling--based, apparently, on a true story--has the spareness and vividness of poetry. The watercolors portray a family and neighborhood united by calamity and joy.
