Parachute

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Matt Ottley. Toby wears a bright orange parachute everywhere: it "made him feel safe." When someone else (his cat stuck in a treehouse) needs the parachute more than he, Toby understands that he is safe, even without it. Striking mixed-media illustrations play with perspective and height in almost-fantastical scenes that, paired with a spare text, allow readers to experience Toby's growth on their own terms.
