Presents for Phoebe written by Paul Rodhe & Illustrated by Al Margolis Translated by Adriana Chum Harley Francais or French translation available in December 2010 English Available September 2010	Phoebe is a little girl who has everything in the world.  Her parents have doted on her from the moment she was born.  It’s no wonder that by the age of four she is bored with all the lavish gift-giving.  Everyone is concerned that she has become spoiled, until Phoebe decides that she has had enough.   When Phoebe glimpses a newscast about the children in Haiti she announces to her parents, Jacques and Eloise, that she will set up a yard sale to sell all her toys, except one very special stuffed animal that daddy bought her.  Phoebe notices just how happy the children living in the Haitian orphanage were to receive the smallest gift and the joy they have for the little they possess. She is determined that she would send them something special, and her sale is a huge success because it not only raises funds for a worthy cause, but it also shows that Phoebe has a heart full of compassion and humility.
