The Pie Reports

(3) K-3 Noor spends summers with Granddad, making delicious pies. He has a tremor now and is sometimes sedentary. When apart, he and Noor do weekly “pie reports” via video chat until one day his illness—which causes “blue days”—prevents his participation. Noor comes up with a creative way to keep their reports going until they are reunited. Lowe's straightforward but gentle text makes a serious illness less scary for readers, and her warm pencil, graphite, and digital illustrations effectively depict the special bond between these characters.
