Grandma's Gloves

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Julia Denos. A girl must cope with the death of her beloved grandmother, who taught her to garden and whose gardening gloves she ultimately claims as a memory-sustaining keepsake. At times Castellucci strains for a child's voice; still, the text is moving and the watercolor, pencil, and digital collage illustrations are awash with emotion.
