(3) K-3 Illustrated by Frank Morrison. On Saturdays, siblings Delia and Jesse help Shoebox Sam at his shop. They fetch coffee for customers, listen to Sam's stories, and learn from Sam's example that every person deserves to be treated with dignity. Barrett's worthy message comes through loud and clear; Morrison's lithe illustrations show a vibrant African American community.
