(3) K-3 Illustrated by Carmen Mok. In brief, poignant text, a young girl recalls specific items and moments as she makes peace with the passing of her beloved grandmother, who used to tell stories of her childhood in China. There are lots of books about the passing of a grandparent, but this one stands out for its authentic culturally-specific elements, both textual and visual. Soft, comforting digital paintings illustrate the gentle intergenerational story.
