(3) K-3 Translated by Katy Lockwood-Holmes. Illustrated by Seng Soun Ratanavanh. In a mountaintop village made of paper, young Anya uses her gift for kirigami -- the Japanese art of creating three-dimensional designs by cutting and folding paper -- to build a bridge and unite her fearful community with their sturdier neighbors across the chasm. Informative back matter explains the techniques used to create the book’s stunning kirigami illustrations, photographed for rich depth, that perfectly complement the tale. An eye-catching homage to the power of creativity, courage, and collaboration.
