(3) K-3 Illustrated by James Ransome. A girl who shares the name Hattie Lottie Annie Quinnie Blue with her grandmother speculates about what Grandma was like as a child. In the rich oil illustrations for this poetic, celebratory text, blue-bordered scenes of Grandma's childhood alternate with white-bordered scenes from the narrator's life. Ransome augments his effective portraits of both girls with small blocks painted in a different childlike style.
