When You
Reach Me by Rebecca Stead, published by Wendy Lamb Books,
an imprint of Random House Children's Books.
Twelve-year-old Miranda encounters shifting friendships, a sudden punch, a
strange homeless man and mysterious notes that hint at knowledge of the future.
These and other seemingly random events converge in a brilliantly constructed
plot.

The 2010 Caldecott Medal winner is The Lion & the Mouse,
illustrated and written by Jerry Pinkney (Little, Brown and Company Books for
Young Readers)
The screech of an owl, the squeak of a mouse and the roar of a lion transport

classic fable. In glowing colors, Pinkney’s textured watercolor illustrations
masterfully portray the relationship between two very unlikely friends.
All the World, illustrated by Marla Frazee, written by Liz Garton
Scanlon, published by Beach Lane Books.
Frazee's small vignettes and sweeping double-page spreads invite readers to share a joyful day with a diverse, multigenerational community. Flowing lines and harmonius colors give vibrant life to Scanlon's poetic text.
