(4) K-3 Illustrated by Ibrahim Quraishi. Hurry, an affectionate donkey, lives in a "dry and lonely land by the sea"--occupied Gaza, according to an author's note at book's end. To cheer the local children, a zookeeper paints stripes on Hurry so that he resembles a zebra. Based on a true event, the tale is heart-yanking and uplifting; if only the every-media-imaginable illustrations were more inviting.
