(3) K-3 Illustrated by Irene Luxbacher. Theo is intrigued by her globe-trotting grandfather's trunk filled with pictures, postcards, maps, and menus. For Poppa's birthday, she suggests she and Poppa make a plan, draw a map, and travel by streetcar to explore the seaside. Colorful, multi-patterned mixed-media illustrations chronicle this intergenerational adventure that emphasizes the gift of being in the moment with loved ones.
