Before I officially review The Year of Billy Miller by Kevin Henkes, an author who writes and illustrates for all levels short of YA, I'd like to take a

I reviewed Penny and Her Song, Kevin Henkes's first foray into beginning readers, a year ago. Henkes's pictures books have been special to me because his career was really taking
Penny and Her Song is now in paperback!!
I am so excited that, with Penny and Her Song, Kevin Henkes has written his first book for emerging readers. This man is so talented, across the board, and this seemed to be the one genre he hadn't tackled.

I have no doubt that you all know the picture books of Kevin Henkes (pronounced Hen-kis), including his Caldecott winning Kitten's First Full Moon and the Caldecott Honor winning Owen, as well as the modern classics Chrysanthemum and Lily's Purple Plastic Purse, which came out in 1996 when my daughter was three.

Interesting review!
Sound like something Audrey would love. I requested all 3 from the library. Thanks for the link to the SDCL website, by the way! Saves me a lot of trouble when I want to reserve a book you recommend.
Hope she does! Be sure to check out some of Henkes's other books - especially his "mice stories" with Lily and Chester and Owen. I think Aaron would even enjoy them. Glad the link is working for you!
Thanks for the additional suggestions! I will check them out.
What about 'The Birthday Room' or 'Sun & Spoon'?
Henkes is very diverse and writes novels as well as illustrating and writing picture books. THE BIRTHDAY ROOM, SUN & SPOON, PROTECTING MARIE and OLIVE'S OCEAN are his novels and they are center around kids dealing with family and social issues. Probably not the best bedtime read-out-loud material.
Thanks! I couldn't tell they were longer novels just from the cover on the library website.
