A Ball for Daisy by Chris Raschka
3.0
Pretty sure this will be the next "Weston Woods Award" winner (ahem... I mean Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Children's Video).
I have a hard time figuring out how to tell wordless stories in storytime settings, but I think this book would be an easy one for low or non-literate parents to "read" with their kids. The action, characters, conflict, etc. are easy to figure out, and the simple color palette and slightly "mooshy" (yes, that's a technical term for ink, watercolor, and gouache) illustrations leave plenty of room for interpretation.
