(3) K-3 Illustrated by Jayri Gómez. When Alfonso and his abuela’s beloved oak tree is cut down, he, with the help of his family and community, transforms the stump into a "little neighborhood library." Norman’s engaging writing brings Alfonso’s voice to life, while Gómez’s warm, colorful, digital illustrations capture the civic spirit. This uplifting tale about turning loss into legacy celebrates books and creativity, and may inspire children to appreciate literacy, libraries, and the power of working together.
