(3) K-3 Captivating mixed-media art frames Turk's multilayered original folktale, in which a storyteller in the Kingdom of Morocco recounts how a young boy saves his drought-inflicted village. Abstract images evoke a bustling village square, building outlines made hazy by sandstorms, vibrant fabrics that contrast with the tan desert, and maze-like carpet patterns. Visually and textually, there's much to savor in this gorgeous book.
