Venus Boy by Lee Sutton audiobook.

Genre: romance

If you ever make a trip to the green planet of Venus, the first thing you'll see will be the fifty-foot high statue of Venus' greatest hero. It stands on the very top of towering New Plymouth Rock at the edge of the old colony of New Plymouth. Even from the rocket cradle, anyone can tell that the statue is of a twelve-year-old boy smiling up at the Venusian jewel bear perched on his shoulder. Cut into the huge rock below the statue are the words,

'Virgil Dare (Johnny) Watson And the Marva, Baba. May their Friendship Endure!'

Virgil Dare Watson, called Johnny by his friends, was the first human being born on Venus. He was named after Virginia Dare, the first pioneer child born in North America, and for a long time he was the only child on all Venus. And that would have been a lonely thing to be if it had not been for Baba. Baba, the bear, was not only Johnny's pet, but his best friend, too, and the only one who knew about his three secrets.

Because of these secrets, Johnny got himself, his jewel bear, Baba, and the whole colony of New Plymouth into desperate trouble. And because of these secrets, he also became a hero worthy of a statue—Venus' greatest hero.

Bobby in Search of a Birthday by Lebbeus Mitchell audiobook.

Genre: family

Bobby North is five years old, an orphan with a big question in his heart. After seeing another child celebrated with cake, gifts, and attention, Bobby realizes there is something he has never had: a birthday. But if you have grown up without one, where do birthdays come from, and how do you find yours? Taking the idea very literally, Bobby sets out on a strange, earnest quest to search for his lost birthdays, stepping carefully along roads and through new places as if the answer might be lying on the ground, waiting to be discovered. His adventure carries him from the routines of the Home into the countryside, where a lively puppy becomes his first real companion and where he meets two unforgettable grown-ups: a warmhearted man with a pocketful of quarters and a gentle woman who seems to understand exactly what a lonely child needs. As Bobby tries to make sense of the rules of families, celebrations, and belonging, his simple search becomes something larger - a test of trust, kindness, and whether a child can claim joy that feels meant for someone else.
