(4) K-3 Illustrated by Lambert Davis. As Grandma marks her seventieth birthday, resourceful Cora finds a way to persuade her to return to Cape Verde and visit the sister she left behind many years ago. The satisfying story and the endnote that follows provide an interesting glimpse into Cape Verdean culture. While the illustrations sometimes look stiff and posed, they do show the affection between Cora and Grandma.
