|  | My Nose, Your Nose by Melanie Walsh
Melanie Walsh has once again created picture books for the youngest child. This time she introduces the concept of diversity, but her approach is very gentle: Agnes has blue eyes. Kit's eye's are brown. But... they both close their eyes when they go to sleep. The close-up and lively illustrations of kids and all their cute bits--eyes, hair, skin, noses, legs--will invite readers to tell what's unique about themselves. And at the same time, children will see that there's so much they have in common, too. AUTHOR: Melanie Walsh

 | Kit's Wilderness by Charles Keating, David Almond
Thirteen-year-old Kit Watson and his family move to the English mining town of Stoneygate to help care for his recently widowed Grandfather.
