Ten Beautiful Things art/music/theater award-winning fiction and nonfiction inBy: Molly Beth Griffin Illustrated by: Maribel Lechuga There's nothing beautiful here. Lily doesn't want to live in Iowa with Gran. Iowa is a long car ride away, and Lily feels terrible, all empty inside. Even Gran's favorite car gamename ten beautiful thingsis useless. There's nothing beautiful in the April slush and cloudy sky. But beauty is hiding where Lily least expects it: the smell of spring mud, a cloud shaped like a swan, a dilapidated barn.
