Dial Books for Young Readers, 2007. Picture Book.
Biting into a plump, juicy orange is one of the great pleasures of winter. But how has that snack found its way to you? This glowing, lyrical book tells the tale of an orange's life journey--from spring blossom to bright, round fruit, from tree to truck to grocery store. And perhaps then, into the hands of a child, who takes it from its shelf in the produce section, saves it for school the next day, and then shares it with friends at recess. Oh, the sweetness of an orange in January! --Publisher

My Friend
By Beatrice Alemagna
North-South Books, 2005. Picture Book.
I am a most unusual animal. I have fur like a dog and I'm shaped like a sheep. But no one seems to know just what I am. Everyone tries to categorize the remarkable creature, but while he may not know what he is, he knows very well what he isn't--a cat, a rat, a lion, a wild boar, or a hippopotamus. Then one day he meets an equally unusual animal and together they make a very important discovery. This sweet story will bring comfort and reassurance to any child who has ever felt "different." --Publisher
