The Christmas Thingamajig

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Carol Benioff. After her grandmother dies, Chloe doesn't even want to look at the "thingamajigs," Grandma's handmade Christmas ornaments. Gradually, Chloe and her grandfather begin to cope with loss and change, strengthened by their Christmas traditions and cheered by a new thingamajig, thoughtfully provided by Grandma before her death. The illustrations reinforce the story's poignancy.
