Illustrated by
Barry Root.
When Granny hears that her grandbaby goes "wiggly, jiggly, all-around giggly" over bluegrass music, she packs her banjo, dons her thousand-mile shoes, and heads for a visit. The warm watercolor, gouache, and pastel-pencil illustrations depict different scenes from Granny's journey and baby Owen eagerly awaiting her arrival. An author's note gives information about bluegrass music; music for "Owen's Song" is included.
