(3) K-3 When Norma accompanies her parents to her great-uncle Frank's funeral, she's happy to have the day off of school and to see her favorite cousin, Ray. There's neither bibliotherapy nor much in the way of a plot here, but the perspective throughout is authentically childlike. James's painterly ink and acrylic illustrations wonderfully convey the moments and feelings that Norma experiences.
