(4) K-3 Illustrated by Vincent Nguyen. Learning that Stella will be the school play's "star," her parents treat her like a diva--only to discover she is playing the part of an actual celestial body and has just one line. Their contrition for their mania goes right over Stella's head--as it may over the young audience's heads. Still, the message is right-on, and Nguyen's images of sweet, guileless Stella are affecting.
