(3) K-3 Illustrated by Freya Blackwood. Siobhán can't remember her dead mother's face. With her father frozen inside his own unhappiness, there's no one to help her grieve. After a comforting visit from "a beautiful woman" (who she later concludes was her mother), Siobhán finally begins to heal. Poignant watercolor and charcoal illustrations show how a mother's quirky spirit lives on through her sensitive daughter.
