(4) K-3 Illustrated by Martha Avilés. On the anniversary of his grandfather's death, a boy and his family gather in the cemetery to unveil his gravestone according to Jewish tradition. In remembering his grandpa, the boy recognizes that "memories of someone you love never get lost." Without a plot, this serves only as bibliotherapy; soothing blue- and green-hued illustrations reinforce the reassuring if slightly saccharine text.
