What James Said

32 pp. | Roaring Brook/Porter | June, 2015 | Trade ISBN 978-1-59643-908-5 $16.99
(2) K-3 Illustrated by Matt Myers. The narrator, a budding artist, is peeved at her best friend James; she's heard that James said she thinks she is perfect. Only when she stops to listen does the girl realize he's been singing her praises all along. Mixed-media illustrations ably convey simple emotion, the girl's wrath punctuated by angry splotches of paint. This story will resonate with the primary-grade crowd.
