Morris; illustrated by Tom Lichtenheld- Lichtenheld's humorous illustrations will delight readers as they follow the story of the Mighty Moose and a very unique filmaking crew who help share why it isn't who you are supposed to be that is most important, but rather, who you want to be!

 Something Borrowed: I'll Be There by Ann Stott; illustrated by Matt Phelan- I'll Be There is a great read for parents and children to enjoy together.
