Great (1991) Boxed Set Of Maus I And II. Both Paperbacks Are In Great Condition WithNo Flaws Noticed.
In a rather different vein from a lot of the suggestions I'm seeing here, I want to plug Michael Herr's Dispatches as an incredible piece of Vietnam literature. There's also If I Die in a Combat Zone by Tim O'Brien.
If you're willing to consider graphic novels, check out Maus, Persepolis, and Laika.
If you're interested at all in vampires and folklore, I recommend Food for the Dead. Really interesting read.
A history-teacher friend of mine recently gave me The Lost City of Z by David Grann. I haven't gotten around to reading it yet, but it came highly recommended.
By the by, last year I required my students (high school seniors) to select and read a non-fiction book and gave them the following list of suggestions. Columbine was one of the really popular ones, and I had a bunch of kids (and a few teachers) recommending it to me, but, again, I haven't gotten to it yet.
Maus
Maus got me started. It has some violence (not a ton) in it - it is the Holocaust, after all - but it's not violence just for the sake of violence. It's a true story. If the Holocaust in general is too unsettling to her, then this ain't the book for her.
Black Hole is quite bizarre, which is typical for Charles Burns, but very good.
If she calls comics "picture books" then I'm guessing that all superhero books are out the door. That's the single biggest segment of comic sales, so if that's what she thinks of comics in general then she probably thinks the same of superhero books in general. That's not meant as criticism. To each her own. It's just my guess about her tastes.
Maybe the Sandman? I don't know; there's a lot of ways you can go with this. Good luck and merry Christmas, my friend.
Considering your user name this seems ironic, but never read Maus
1.Maus by Art Spiegelman. I know it is a graphic novel, but it is amazing.
2. The Dark Tower Series by Stephen King, Including the newest one The Wind Through The Keyhole
I would recommend [Maus] (http://www.amazon.com/Maus-Survivors-Father-History-Troubles/dp/0679748407)

I propose that you read Maus. It's a graphic novel about World War 2 and the holocaust, but at the same time about a man and his father. The father is the one who tells his son the story of the holocaust, and his son then tells us. Really, it's quite moving.
Also, Jews are mouses and Nazis are cats.
Surprised no-one has recommended Maus I+II, by Art Spiegelman.
Read it, seriously. A graphic novel that won a Pulitzer.
No
To that claim, sir, I offer the gripping narrative of Maus.
Don't miss the sequel!

Not as bad as these cats.
If you could time Maus to work in with the history/social studies WWII/Holocaust module, it would work great. If anyone questions you...it won a Pulitzer, and made Time's Top 10 Graphics Novels list. Tell them to shove it.
