(4) K-3 Illustrated by Jason Gaillard. The census taker visits Sophy's Cambodian village wearing flashy running shoes. He later sends her a pair, which allows her to make the eight-kilometer trek across rocky terrain to attend school. Both the realistic-looking paintings and text can be stiff at times, but readers will admire Sophy's perseverance, her bright pink shoes bobbing along the pages as she races to school.
