(4) K-3 Illustrated by Jeffrey Ebbeler. Two kids share the same name and a great friendship. When the girl moves to Kenya, however, the boy doesn't know how to get in touch with her (he doesn't see her address on the back of a note). Why she can't write to him is never addressed; still, this is an engaging story of a special relationship. The amusingly detailed illustrations eschew sentimentality.
