A Picture of Grandmother

(4) 1-3 Illustrated by Beth Peck. After her mother and grandmother are invited by an American relative to attend the 1939 World's Fair, Sara uncovers one of her Polish family's closely guarded secrets. The writing is melodramatic and features some clumsy dialogue obviously meant to convey information to the reader, but the intimate look at a privileged Jewish girl's life in Vilna, Poland, is a treat enhanced by Peck's gauzy black-and-white illustrations.
