We are family


SWEET BABY FEET by Margaret O'Hair with illustrations by Tracy Dockray. Farrar Straus Giroux, 2013.

Feet on tippy toes, feet in the tub, and feet sounding out a beat: follow baby all day long with his sweet baby feet. <679>



THE GRANDDAUGHTER NECKLACE by Sharon Dennis Wyeth with illustrations by Bagram Ibatoulline. Arthur A. Levine/Scholastic, 2013.

Passed down for generations, the granddaughter necklace is a loving family tradition. The necklace is given to a granddaughter at an eventful moment in her life. The author recounts the women in her family who have worn and then handed down this family heirloom. <680>


MISSING MOMMY by Rebecca Cobb. Holt, 2013.

Subtitled A BOOK ABOUT BEREAVEMENT, the story centers on a child who has lost his (it could very well be a her, too) mother. Sadness, fear, guilt: all the conflicting emotions are here in the family as they mourn the loss of Mommy. <681>
