Sophie's Dance

(4) K-3 Translated by Kathryn Bishop. Illustrated by Mandy Schlundt. Sophie and Grandma Elizabeth go to the local dance, just like Grandma used to do with Grandpa. Sophie is jealous when Grandma finds a partner but then realizes that Grandma always saves a special place for her. The wordy, nostalgic text is enhanced by Schlundt's richly colored, intentionally grainy illustrations, which indicate emotions with the curve of a line.
