Grandad's Tree: Poems about Families

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Julia Cairns. Poems about parents, grandparents, siblings, love, loss, and feelings fill this collection featuring poems by Arnold Adoff, Grace Nichols, and Judith Viorst, among others. While some offerings are lighthearted, other poems offer serious perspectives, such as "Always Remembering Eloise," a girl's remembrance of her "might have been" baby sister. Bright illustrations of families frame and expand the poems.
