(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Gabriel M. Zubizarreta. Amalia is devastated when she learns her best friend is moving to California; fortunately, her abuelita comforts her with stories about loved ones far away. When Abuelita suddenly dies, Amalia must draw on what her grandmother has taught her to accept her grief and anger. This portrait of a multigenerational immigrant family features sensitively drawn characters and a low-key story. Concurrently published in Spanish.
