I can't  wait to see the list for pictures books that show characters 
changing.  I  can use that to teach characterization, emotion words, inferring, etc.  
 Thanks to whoever asked for this.

I was surprised at how difficult it  was for me to think of good examples and 
I use picture books quite a bit, even  in sixth grade.   I can think of lots 
of novels.  Perhaps 32  pages just isn't enough to take a character through a 
meaningful change.   

all I could think of was

My Rotten Red Headed Brother by  Patricia Polaco
Thunder Cake...but do we really know that she is no longer  afraid of 
thunderstorms?
Sweetest Fig by Van Allsburg...the change is  rather dramatic, but well 
deserved.  (-:
The Wretched Stone....ditto  the Sweetest Fig.

How about Leo the late  bloomer?
