(3) K-3 Illustrated by E. B. Lewis. Amanda's soldier father helps her overcome her fear of the dark by showing her the wonders of the night sky. Together, they make glow-in-the-dark stars for her room, forging a bond that sustains them when he goes overseas for a dangerous tour of duty. Lewis's illustrations depict the family's interactions from varying perspectives, and he deftly executes the nighttime scenes.
