Grandmother, Have the Angels Come?

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Erin Eitter Kono. A girl queries her grandmother about the telltale signs of old age: "...have the angels come and painted your hair?...taken your teeth?...curved your back?" Grandma responds with poetic reassurances ("They have painted it white so I may become more like the clouds"). Acrylic and pencil illustrations form swirling patterns to surround the characters, visually binding them in a circle of love.
