The Sock Thief

32 pp. | Whitman | March, 2015 | Trade ISBN 978-0-8075-7538-3 $16.99
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Nana Gonzalez. Once a week, Felipe goes through his small Brazilian town, borrowing socks from laundry lines--but not to wear. Though the story is in English, it is peppered with occasional Portuguese phrases and onomatopoeia (there is a short glossary in the back). Gonzalez's illustrations are soft and friendly, while the story's ending assures us that Felipe is not truly a thief.
