• by CARMEN AGRA DEEDY and illustrated by RAÚL COLÓN. Coqui looks forward to the part of her days when her friend Emilio, the Peanut Man, comes by her house with his wares, and they share their secret, silly greeting. One day Coqui sadly lets him know that she and her family are moving to the United States from their beloved Havana home, and he assures her that she will find things to love there, too. Then one day, years later in her new home in Atlanta, something happens that brings back her fond memories of her friend, the Peanut Man!
  
• by BRENDAN WENZEL. From sunbeam, to flower, to insect, to animal, to plant, to soil, and the earth itself… the sun makes, moves, and transforms life all around us. Celebrate the mysteries of light from sunup to sundown as it weaves its way through creation inspiring change, hope, wonder, and curiosity.
  
• by LISA TOLIN. Yoko Ono has been called many things: Bold. Confrontational. Controversial. Artist. Musician. Witch. But she has always been, first and foremost, Yoko: a girl who used her imagination to escape the horrors of World War II, and then a woman who used that same gift to find peace after an act of unfathomable violence. This is a story of a singular soul: one whose brilliance cannot be overshadowed, and whose imagination has been truly revolutionary.

• written and illustrated by JULIA MILLS. Robinson the raccoon loves to collect lots of things--big and small. One day, he colleccts a shell that turns out to be Rosie the snail! Rrosie is not impressed bu Robinson's stuff, and she takes him to see what she collects: breezes on the hilltop, bubbles in the stream, and the magnificent northern lights. Robinson soon realizes that the best things to hold onto aren't always physical!
