- Pablo finds a treasure / by Poulin, Andrée.; Malenfant, Isabelle,1979-;
"Pablo and his sister spend every day at "Treasure Mountain," the local dump. There, they rummage through the mounds of garbage looking for items that their mother can sell in order to provide food for the family. Occasionally, they find a "real" treasure like some still-edible food, or a picture book, which Pablo delights in, even though he can't read. The work is exhausting, and sometimes not very lucrative, but the worst thing they have to contend with is Filthy-Face, a brutish bully who steals the finds of all the children. But one day, Pablo discovers a real treasure. Will he be able to keep it from falling into the hands of Filthy-Face? Simply written with highly expressive illustrations, this book brings home the reality of poverty around the world"--Publisher.LSC- Subjects: Brothers and sisters; Child ragpickers; Treasure troves; Bullies;

- One can / by Button, Lana,1968-; Walters, Eric,1957-; Malenfant, Isabelle,1979-;
A child donates a can of food to their school food drive. But in an unexpected twist, they come to understand what it means to give and receive. A child is excited to donate a can of their favorite Zoodelicious to the school food drive. Their teacher has explained that the food will be given to people in need, along with mittens from the "mitten tree." In the classroom, there's a carpet with one hundred squares, and the goal is to fill each square with a can of food. When the child places their can of Zoodelicious on square 100, everyone cheers, and the teacher puts a snowflake sticker on top to celebrate. But a few days later, the child finds the same can of Zoodelicious among the groceries their mom has brought home. There's a pair of red mitts, too. "Mom, are we the people in need?" the child asks. The next morning, after having thought of all the people who will receive food from the school and wondering what else they might need, the child donates their too-small blue mittens to the mitten tree at school. Created by an award-winning team, One Can tells a timely and touching story of a child who learns to give and receive-and wants only to give again in return.- Subjects: Picture books.; Food banks; Food security; Schools; Charities; Mittens;
