Cyntha Rylant has an excellent book out on loneliness.  The illustrations are
watercolor paintings are by Peter Catalanotto and they are wonderful.

It is called:  An Angel for Solomon Singer  (1992)

cheer

                     (lib. bdg.)

It is a picture book that can be utilized on different levels according to
your needs.
Our fifth grade English teacher used it very successfully with our fifth
graders last year.
