(3) K-3 Illustrated by Bernadette Watts. Adapted and translated by J. Alison James. Soft, evocative illustrations set the stage for this lesser-known Grimm brothers story about a little girl who gives away all her possessions to help those less fortunate than she. Though she seeks no recognition, the stars provide the girl with golden coins and beautiful white clothing. The tale of kindness rewarded is sweet and comforting without being treacly.
