Breanna Carzoo. HarperCollins, $19.99 (32p) ISBN 978-0-06-305406-6Stationed at the bottom of a traffic signal by the sea, sweet-faced Greenlight sees all the brightly colored, square-shaped vehicles speeding beneath it, but it feels deeply unappreciated and often left alone. “They stop for Redlight.
