Either "The Giving Tree" or "Where the Sidewalk Ends" by Shel Silverstein. I loved those books as a kid.

To Kill a Mockingbird

If I were to get crazy, I would have the Harry Potter series translated as audiobooks. And I would give them to Ashley as a gift. She loves Harry Potter. A lot!

Obama's books and speeches, so they know there's more to current American political thought than "with us, or against us."

The Autobiography of Malcolm X

Night, Elie Wiesel

Easy - I would translate some of my favorite childrens books.
1. Are you there God, it's me Margret
2. Matilda
3. The whole Babysitters Club series - including the special ones where they went on cruises and such.
