I found "The Tower: A Story of Humility
by Richard Paul Evans, Jonathan Linton (Illustrator)"- "A young man in China decides that in order to be a truly great man, he must have everyone look up to him. He builds a platform that puts him above the crowd -- until a tall man passes by. Then he decides he must build a huge tower that overlooks the entire city, taller than even the emperor's palace. He chops down an entire forest of trees and starts building. There is only room for one person on top of the tower, a fact that the young man accepts as part of his greatness. "Now everyone must look up to me," he says. "I am the greatest man in the land." Soon, though, the man becomes very lonely. When a bird flies down, the man welcomes its company. The curious bird asks him why he is up there, and he explains. The bird comments that he knows of someone even greater, a woman who can be found by the river..."

You get the idea.

"And The Winner Is... (Hipkidhop Series)by JibJab Media Staff (Illustrator)" "And The Winner Is... a young basketball player learns the importance of both winning and losing gracefully. By exploring themes of good sportsmanship, humility, and belief in oneself, LL Cool J's story reveals the invaluable lessons that apply both on and off the court.The powerful messages of the text and the original, unforgettable songs will resonate with kids in a fun, hip, and educational way."

This is one of my favorites. The artwork is beautiful & the message is rewarding. I'm not exactly sure if it targets humility directly, but it definitely has a lesson worth teaching. Hope this helps ~ Enjoy!

"The magic tapestry : a Chinese folktale"
by Demi.

Publishers Weekly Review
This fast-paced retelling of an ancient Chinese fairy tale revolves around the search for a stolen tapestry. A devoted son sets out to retrieve the work, ``the most heavenly tapestry ever made,'' painstakingly woven by his mother over three years. But it is not with the fairies of Sun Mountain, and only an impossible journey through fire and ice will bring it home. Two older brothers have refused even to contemplate the mission but, for the love of his mother, the youngest is determined to succeed. Elaborate illustrations evoke traditional Chinese art, each painting itself like a fine tapestry abundantly worked in gold. The art is finely drawn, the compositions so well balanced as to exude a peaceful, Zen-like quality and yet sufficiently dramatic as to convey the energy of the story. Background colors are radiant--deep turquoise, indigo, scarlet--and the mother's tapestry indeed seems ``heavenly.'' Just as the illustrations mix clean lines with opulent gilding, so too the text combines timeless wisdom with romance, magic and a dash of adventure. Ages 6-10.

I have lots of books, but what exactly are you looking for?

I can't think of any off the top of my head but if you check with your local library they would most likely have a list.

There's a great series of books by publisher Veronica Lane,
called the "What is" books. What is death,what is money, what is god...etc. We love them. The author is Etan Boritzer if I remember correctly...
