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?
