• The Mango Tree by EDEL RODRIGUEZ. In a quiet village on a small island, two boys spend their days in a mango tree. High above the rest of the world, they play and eat mangoes together. But after a huge storm sweeps one boy out into unknown waters, will he be able to find his way home?
  
  
• Brandon and the Baby by BRIAN PINKNEY. Brandon loves his special blanket, but he isn’t too sure about his new baby brother, who steals all the attention.

• Penelope's Balloons by BROOKE BOURGEOIS. Penelope loves her ten red balloons. She spends every moment with them, taking them with her everywhere she goes — school, ballet class, and the market.
