I got 2 absolutely adorable "Catwing" books by Ursula Leguin. They are "chapter" books, and I'm going to give them to a granddaughter for Christmas. I want a catwing! You can take a peek here:

Orson Scott Card had this to say about the series:

Yet even though LeGuin's stories are not sentimentalized, neither do they shock or brutalize in their truthfulness. Rather, as she makes danger and loss and injury and fear and all the passages of life seem natural and unavoidable, LeGuin also lets us see that life can still be well-lived, and individuals can still act rightly and lovingly and bravely, and can bear with dignity whatever losses come. Not a bad set of truths for children to learn in a couple of gentle, well-told tales.
