Meindert DeJong, Maurice Sendak
Why do the storks no longer come to the little Dutch fishing village of Shora to nest? It was Lina, one of the six schoolchildren who first asked the question, and she set the others to wondering. And sometimes when you begin to wonder, you begin to make things happen. So the children set out to bring the storks back to Shora. The force of their vision put the whole village to work until at last the dream began to come true. Winner, 1955 Newbery Medal Notable Children's Books of 1940–1970 (ALA) 1963 Lewis Carroll Shelf Award
Sorche Leodhas, Nonny Hogrogian
Winner of the Caldecott Medal. From children's book author Sorche Nic Leodhas and illustrator Nonny Hogrogian comes a heartwarming story, Always Room for One More. Lachie MacLachlan, the generous hero of this enchanting tale, is the exception to the rule that the Scots are a thrifty lot. In his "wee house in the heather," where he lives with his family of twelve, he welcomes to his hearth every weary traveler who passes by on a stormy night. "There's always room for one more," says Lachie, and how his grateful guests say a wonderful "Thank you" provides a delightfully warm and tender ending to this hilarious tale of kindness. Always Room for One More is the winner of the 1966 Caldecott Medal.

Tillie Olsen
This collection of short fiction centers on a working-class family, and the title story distills aging, memory, estrangement, and forgiveness into quiet conversation. Its restrained style brings out the pain and intimacy of everyday life at the same time.
