(3) K-3 Illustrated by Nancy Carpenter. A young woman's thank-you letter reflects on the wisdom and patience her second-grade teacher demonstrated during a difficult, and important, year in her childhood. Pen-and-ink and digital illustrations use color and contrast to draw attention to the endlessly curious girl, whose impulsive and occasionally "exasperating" behavior dominates the classroom. It's a loving and realistic portrayal of a student-teacher relationship.
