(2) K-3 Illustrated by Karen Barbour. The olive tree has special significance in Greek culture, although Sophia, who lives in California, is not aware of this when she is given one by her grandfather on her seventh birthday. The illustrations have the flavor of Greek folk art, and while the story deals with the icons of a specific culture, its theme--the ties between family and place--is universal.
