Yard Sale

"Yard sales can be fun — but not when your favorite things are being sold. Callie’s move from a house to a small apartment is told with warmth and compassion. As she watches her family’s belongings being picked over and purchased, Callie’s heartache is palpable. Lauren Castillo’s watercolor and ink illustrations compliment Eve Bunting’s tender first-person telling of a routine event. However, Yard Sale is wholly Callie’s story, and we are heartened by her realization that though their belongings are gone, her family remains together to comfort and love one another. (For ages 3 to 7)"
