(3) K-3 Illustrated by Jeremy Tugeau. To explain why each generation of their family has an Olivia, an African American woman tells her great-granddaughter about their Jewish family's journey across the globe to escape religious persecution. Soft paintings add subtle intensity to this story highlighting the importance of traditions to preserve history. An author's note elaborates on discrimination against Jews.
