The Friday Nights of Nana

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Claire A. Nivola. A day off school means Jennie can help her nana prepare for Sabbath dinner. The pair's comfortable and loving relationship is conveyed in the detailed watercolor and pen-and-ink illustrations. While the story is ordinary, the varied perspectives of the pictures add energy to the text. At the story's end, readers are treated to a view through the dining-room window where the whole family has gathered.
