Get lost in the touching story of two boys—one black, one white; one shy, one talkative; one street smart, one bookish—who take a chance on friendship. There are only 34 words, but rarely has dialogue such as "What's up?" "Not much." "Why?" "No fun." "Oh?" packed such an emotional punch.

This tender story captures the daily rituals of an African-American mother and daughter in the nightly combing out of tangles in the little girl's hair. Look for metaphors for pride and acceptance in who you are and what you look like ... and instill the traits in your own child.

What's the best part of winter? Waking up to a snow-covered ground, of course! Watch Peter jump into his snowsuit, make snow angels and trying to save a snowball overnight. (C'mon. You know you did it, too!)
