(2) K-3 Illustrated by Yunmee Kyong. In an effective, even intriguing, take on "sibling" rivalry set in Pakistan, Rani believes that her mother, Ami, loves her pet hen more than she loves Rani. Kyong's bright, richly colored illustrations are a good match for sensitive Rani's straightforward narration. Khan always stays true to young Rani's self-centered impressions and emotions, never injecting adult interpretations.
