Staff Pick of the Month

In the mood for a thoughtful story? This quiet, strange picture book is perfect for reading on a gray January day. Clive the Fox often feels like an outsider in his city. His friend Humphrey, a struggling donkey, doesn't even have a place to live. But when the two friends get the chance to attend a special event, they realize that some things in this world don't belong to anybody.
