(2) K-3 Illustrated by Elizabeth Zunon. Ninety-six-year-old Nell doesn't doesn't do hugs and kisses, and she growls her disapproval at her great-granddaughter, this book's narrator. But when Nell shares painful memories of "the time her best friend said they couldn't be friends anymore because of her brown skin," the narrator comes to a better understanding of her great-grandmother. Zunon's illustrations create a stage for the queenly central character.
