Root Beer and Banana

$12, amazon.com
By Sarah Sullivan, illustrated by Greg Shed (Candlewick Press, 2005, ages 3 and up)

With painterly, atmospheric illustrations, this book evokes a lazy summer's day in the country and an encounter between two new friends.

A little girl at a country store with her grandfather meets a girl with patches on her clothes. With few words and understated illustrations, the author and artist establish the poverty of the girl, the stirrings of friendship, the courtesy of the grandfather, and the sense of respect in the rural community.
