(3) K-3 Illustrated by Ken Daley. In his Kenyan refugee camp, Joseph lusts after older boy Daau's bicycle, which Joseph helps fix up. After moving to America, Joseph zeroes in on a bicycle outside his building; Joseph's fix-it skills facilitate a friendship and his coveted ride. Farish's child-focused text poignantly highlights the young immigrant's experience in an unfamiliar setting. Daley's bright, chunky paintings capture the story's movement and emotion.
