YOUNGER FICTION
Hopkinson, Deborah

Bluebird Summer

(4) 1-3 Illustrated by Bethanne Andersen. Two children from the city visit their widowed grandfather in the country and help him restore their grandmother's garden, which their grandfather had let go. Young Cody surprises his older sister and grandfather by purchasing a birdhouse to attract the bluebirds his grandmother loved. Andersen's loose gouache and oil paintings enrich the somewhat sentimental text.
