Owen, by Kevin Henkes

<p>Owen’s fuzzy yellow blanket is his favorite possession. Everywhere Owen goes, his blanket goes with him. Upstairs, downstairs, in-between. Inside, outside, upside down. Everywhere! Owen’s parents are in despair—soon Owen will begin school, and he&nbsp;<em>can’t</em>&nbsp;take&nbsp;Fuzzy with him then. Whatever can be done?</p> <p>This Caldecott Honor Book will provide reassurance and laughs whether shared at home or during circle time.&nbsp;Every child uses some sort of security object, whether it’s a toy, a thumb, or a binky. For those not yet ready to let go and for those who have moved on, here’s a story about making compromises that speaks to us all.</p> <p>Everyone who’s ever had a favorite blanket will know exactly how Owen feels!</p>
