Description

Edna Coe Bercaw (au); Robert Hunt (il). A moving story of intergenerational relationships, with characters that spring to life in exquisite oil paintings. Jennifer’s grandmother, Halmoni, is visiting from Korea -- & she’s arrived just in time for Grandparents’ Day (GD) at school. Jennifer is excited, but she’s also worried. She doesn’t know Halmoni very well, & her grandmother doesn’t speak English. At school the children have prepared for GD with special projects & awards. As the grandparents collect their awards, they share a favorite story or memory with the class. At Halmoni’s turn, she tells the story of her childhood in war-torn Korea -- a story that shows Jennifer that there are many ways to express love, ways that cross barriers of language, time, & place.
