(3) K-3 Illustrated by Feronia Parker Thomas. In this warm story by a Romani storyteller, based on true events, a coal-mining pony escapes the drudgery and joins a family of British Travelers. Polonius saves the day when the family's truck breaks down and he helps to bring a load of handmade wooden stools to the dock to be shipped to the U.S. Mixed-media illustrations show the various types of caravans, both motorized and traditional horse-drawn ones. Includes a note on Traveling culture.

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Marieke Nelissen. A traditional tale portrays the resilience of the Romani, or Travelers, of England. Yokki is a storyteller (like the Romani author O'Neill), and he relates the story of the Parno Gry, a white horse that carries a whole family from an impoverished place to a land of rich resources. Soft paintings complement the story, which includes a note on Traveler culture. Glos.

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Hannah Tolson. An original story portrays the importance of recycling and music within the Romani, or Traveler, community of England. Ossiri, a contemporary Traveler girl, wants to be a musician and creates her own instrument from recycled materials. While practicing in the hills, she wakes a hairy ogre, who ultimately sings along and rewards her. Bold, naive-style paintings illustrate the story, which includes a note on Traveler culture.
