Violet Mackerel's Personal Space

(3) 1-3 Illustrated by Elanna Allen. In her fourth book, Violet's Theory of Leaving Small Things Behind comes in handy as her mother's wedding plans mean the family has to move. Older brother Dylan protests by moving into a space of his own (a tent). Violet's compassion for Dylan is endearing, and readers will connect with the heroine as she helps her family adjust to changes. Black-and-white illustrations share this story's warmth.
