(4) 4-6 Illustrated by LeUyen Pham. Dorrie's cousin, a Holocaust survivor, arrives in Chicago during Dorrie's fifth-grade year just as the class is hosting its annual Sweet Semester baking and essay contest fundraiser for WWII survivors. This nostalgic look at a 1940s Jewish American household mixes a child's innocence (not always convincing) with a dash of good humor and a sprinkle of bittersweet self-reflection.
