Violet Mackerel's Possible Friend

(3) 1-3 Illustrated by Elanna Allen. In her fifth chapter book, Violet discovers many interesting things in her new home, including a hole in a fence that leads to a potential "very good friend." This sweet story about childhood social anxieties and venturing out on one's own is perfectly paced and focused, supplemented by gentle black-and-white halftone illustrations. Young readers will find both girls easy to relate to.
