"My Grandmother Is a Singing Yaya"

32 pp. | Scholastic/Orchard | November, 2001 | Trade ISBN 0-439-29309-X $$15.95
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Diane Palmisciano. Although Lulu loves to hear her Greek grandmother's exuberant singing, she finds it embarrassing enough in public that she worries about bringing her yaya to her school's Grandparents' Day picnic. When the picnic-goers enjoy Yaya's singing, Lulu comes to appreciate it, too. Pastel illustrations capture both Yaya's unselfconscious joy and Lulu's discomfort.
