Mama Seeton's Whistle

(3) K-3 Illustrated by LeUyen Pham. This feel-good family story shows all the Seeton siblings, from childhood to adulthood, being drawn to home by their mother's "simple, two-note whistle." While the beginning is set in a bygone era, the ending is contemporary and relevant. Homey illustrations with a Norman Rockwell sensibility give the characters distinct personalities and show the whistle as a fantastical entity swirling through the air.
