(3) K-3 Illustrated by Jon J Muth. After their mother takes off, again, siblings BeeBee and Johnson go live with their aunt Gracie. As time passes, they come to care for and love their aunt--and when their mother reappears, they are able to trust her when she says, "Gracie's going to take good care of you until I can again." Muth's soft watercolor illustrations add a sense of calm to this well-written, quiet story about a difficult subject.
