(3) K-3 Illustrated by Renne Benoit. John's parents are getting divorced, and he and his mother must move away. Early on the morning of their departure, just after a snowfall, John says goodbye to Griffith Street by making snow angels and stars in front of his friends' houses. Rendered in soft browns and grays, the sensitive illustrations for this poignant story capture the atmosphere of John's small mining town.
