Zebra at the Zoo
Picture book · ages 4–8 · 350L · 2021
A gentle, low-stakes introduction to zoo animals that works well for read-alouds but lacks the narrative drive of more dynamic picture books.
Lily's Crossing
Middle grade · ages 10–14 · 730L · 2003
A quiet masterpiece about privilege colliding with wartime reality—Giff trusts the reader to sit with moral ambiguity and the cost of a single lie.
Pictures of Hollis Woods
Middle grade · ages 8–12 · 750L · 2002
A quiet, unflinching portrait of foster-care experience that doesn't sentimentalize; Hollis's voice and her drawings carry the emotional weight of a child learning to trust again.
