(1) 4-6 Illustrated by Betsy Peterschmidt. Aref is preparing to leave Oman for Ann Arbor, Michigan, where his family will live for three years. Though unhappy about the move, Aref is thrilled to spend his last few days going on small adventures with Sidi, his grandfather. Nye's story about the special bond between a boy and his grandfather and their mutual love for their country is somehow both quiet and exhilarating.
