Snowdrops for Cousin Ruth

(2) 4-6 Katz tells the poignant story of a family's slow healing after a freak accident kills seven-year-old Johnny. Unconventional eighty-two-year-old Cousin Ruth, a contemporary Mary Poppins, sweeps onto the scene, but even if she seems too good to be true, the book needs a catalyst in order for the family to move on with their lives; ancient Cousin Ruth, who has lived long, loved hard, and known loss, will warm the saddened reader.
