(1) K-3 Francie and her pregnant mom, driving home in the rain, pull off the highway to share a snack and conversation. What will the baby's name be? When will Daddy, "working far out to sea," be home? Graham's story builds to Francie's mother's realization that the baby's name is Grace. The story is told through an occasionally poetic text and watercolor illustrations that are both down-to-earth and transcendent.
