(3) K-3 Illustrated by François Thisdale. After Jay's accidental death, Joe hangs on to his best friend's bicycle. He's initially unwilling to make a new friend but finds that the bicycle is the bridge he needs. Beck gives voice to the powerful emotions of loss, friendship, and fear in this quiet story for older kids. Thisdale's at-times surreal mixed-media illustrations use a palette of blue, gray, and black to express sadness.
