(4) K-3 Illustrated by Jamel Akib. Arun waits for many months before his baby sister's adoption is complete. She arrives from India just in time for the Hindu holiday Rakhi, which is "special to brothers and sisters." Although the story is heartwarming, the static chalk-pastel illustrations depict only two facial expressions: mouth open for happy, angled eyebrows for sad. An author's note about adoption is included.
