(4) K-3 Illustrated by Jamie Hogan. Stormy weather on an island off the Maine coast causes concern for young resident Riley, who's fearful his birthday present will not arrive in time. Riley wonders if island life is really for him, but community interactions broaden his perspective and develop his appreciation for island living despite its challenges. Hogan's prosaic, chalky illustrations adequately capture the bustle and beauty of this isolated community.
