Elmer's Special Day

by David Mckee

In this latest story to feature Elmer “the patchwork elephant,” McKee subtly instructs readers on the making and keeping of friends. McKee illustrates in a loose, folk-art style. Elmer visually clashes with the foliage and his friends, and the whole enterprise exudes cheery, unassuming goodwill. The elephants' nonexclusive event provides a model for any peaceable kingdom.

Millie's Marvellous Hat

by Satoshi Kitamura

Kitamura matches his quiet story of imagination and empowerment with soft watercolor illustrations that teem with fascinating urban detail. Decked out in a bright-yellow slicker and boots, Millie's small cheery figure easily stands out amid crowded streets and parks, but it's her fantastical hats that command center-page attention. A real charmer.
