(3) K-3 Illustrated by Claudia McGehee. In a story celebrating individualism and appreciation, a girl visits her unconventional grandmother--who "dresses in Grandpa's old flannel shirts" and "never bakes cookies"--in the North Woods. When they go for walks, each season reveals something different, from spring peepers to hooting owls in moonlit snowy woods. Scratchboard, dye, and watercolor illustrations richly highlight the natural world and a loving familial bond.
