Halmoni's Day

32 pp. | Dial | August, 2000 | Trade ISBN 0-8037-2444-6 $$15.99
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Robert Hunt. Jennifer is worried about her Korean grandmother's visit to school because Halmoni does not speak English and wears traditional Korean dress. The visit goes perfectly, and Jennifer learns more about her grandmother's life story as well. In this sentimental story, emotions are more important than character development. Hunt uses light and shadow in his soft paintings to help convey these strong emotions.
