  The Street That Wasn't There by Carl Jacobi and Clifford D. Simak - He did the same thing at the same time every night for 20 years. Then he realized something was wrong, something was very wrong. 
  Mr. Jonathon Chambers left his house on Maple Street at exactly seven o'clock in the evening and set out on the daily walk he had taken, at the same time, come rain or snow, for twenty solid years. 
  The walk never varied. He paced two blocks down Maple Street, stopped at the Red Star confectionery to buy a Rose Trofero perfecto, then walked to the end of the fourth block on Maple. There he turned right on Lexington, followed Lexington to Oak, down Oak and so by way of Lincoln back to Maple again and to his home. 
  He didn't walk fast. He took his time. He always returned to his front door at exactly 7:45. No one ever stopped to talk with him. Even the man at the Red Star confectionery, where he bought his cigar, remained silent while the purchase was being made. Mr. Chambers merely tapped on the glass top of the counter with a coin, the man reached in and brought forth the box, and Mr. Chambers took his cigar. That was all. 
  For people long ago had gathered that Mr. Chambers desired to be left alone. The newer generation of townsfolk called it eccentricity. Certain uncouth persons had a different word for it. The oldsters remembered that this queer looking individual with his black silk muffler, rosewood cane and bowler hat once had been a professor at State University. 
  A professor of metaphysics, they seemed to recall, or some such outlandish subject.

  Newbery Honor Book * Sibert Medal Winner 
  Carefully researched and expertly told, this Newbery Honor and Sibert Medal-winning book is a moving account of the life of a talented and determined artist who left her mark on musical and social history. Through her story, Newbery Medal-winning author Russell Freedman illuminates the social and political climate of the day and an important chapter in American history. Notes, bibliography, discography, index. 
  ""A voice like yours,"" celebrated conductor Arturo Toscanini told contralto Marian Anderson, ""is heard once in a hundred years."" 
  This insightful account of the great African American vocalist considers her life and musical career in the context of the history of civil rights in this country. Drawing on Anderson's own writings and other contemporary accounts, Russell Freedman shows readers a singer pursuing her art despite the social constraints that limited the careers of black performers in the 1920s and 1930s. 
  Though not a crusader or a spokesperson by nature, Marian Anderson came to stand for all black artists—and for all Americans of color—when, with the help of such prominent figures as Eleanor Roosevelt, she gave her landmark 1939 performance on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, which signaled the end of segregation in the arts.

  The Ugly Duckling – A gentle tale of growing up, standing out, and finding your true reflection. 
  Not every beginning is beautiful—but that’s what makes this classic story so meaningful. In this heartfelt audiobook retelling, a lonely little duckling endures teasing, rejection, and a long, chilly winter… only to discover that he was never meant to blend in—he was meant to become something beautiful. Told in the comforting voice of a charming older British gentleman and set to soothing New-Age music, this version brings warmth, wisdom, and just the right amount of feathered flair. 
  Perfect for ages 4–8, The Ugly Duckling is more than a fairy tale—it’s a powerful lesson in patience, resilience, and the importance of embracing who we truly are, even when the world doesn’t understand us yet. 
  Ideal for bedtime listening, quiet moments, or thoughtful storytime, this classic comes to life with kindness, heart, and a reminder that sometimes it takes a little time—and a lot of courage—to grow into our best selves.
