(3) K-3 Illustrated by Giselle Potter. Illustrated with Potter's childlike watercolors, this evocative book juxtaposes a little girl's acceptance of her beloved grandmother's death with the annual migration of monarch butterflies. When the butterflies return to Mexico during the Days of the Dead, the girl discovers how to keep a loved one's memory alive. Information about monarch butterflies and the Days of the Dead is appended.
