Illustrated by
Kathryn Mitter.
When Abby and her parents move to Israel, her grandmother stays behind. Abby misses Grandma, but they keep in contact through letters, e-mail, and phone calls. This touching, if sentimental, story begins and ends with rain and tears--first sad and then happy. Mitter's cheerful acrylic illustrations showing Abby's new life and the happy family reunion bolster the Israel-travelogue-style story.
