Silas' Seven Grandparents

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Helen Flook. Silas has seven racially diverse grandparents (including step-grandparents). This means lots of love, but also the occasional overwhelmed feeling, especially when it's time to choose whom to stay with when his parents are away. Silas's conflict is wholly relatable, and readers will enjoy, vicariously, all the doting, shown in carefree acrylic-ink illustrations.
