(4) K-3 Illustrated by Michelle Chang. After Nancy's grandmother Ni Ni gets a letter from China saying that her family home has been torn down, Nancy decides to make a goldfish pond in their backyard to remind Ni Ni of the pond she had as a child. The characters in the olive and gold illustrations are occasionally stiff, although the story of a child's concern for her grandmother is touching.
