(3) 1-3 Illustrated by Frank Morrison. African American second grader Keena joins the likes of Clementine, Ramona, and Junie B. Jones. Well-meaning but impetuous, she learns about jealousy, friendship, and telling the truth after her new teacher thinks it's Keena's birthday. Readers will be able to imagine themselves in Keena's uncomfortable position. Warm black-and-white illustrations show her interactions at school and with her separated parents.
