(2) K-3 Illustrated by Sonia Sánchez. This wordless graphic novel–style picture book, told through detailed, mixed-media panel illustrations, explores one boy's life after immigrating to America. One day he drops a seed (a keepsake from home) out of his window. A girl picks it up, and his search for her draws him out of his loneliness. Newcomers to any country will find a lot to talk about here.
