(4) K-3 Illustrated by Linda Saport. Facile wants to offer his new sister a gift--a mango tree--but doesn't anticipate trouble getting the seed to grow. This simple tale suffers from the reader's need to consult the book's glossary each time a Haitian Creole word crops up, but the charcoal and pastel images in rich, blended tones provide a welcome introduction to rural Haiti.
