Grandpa
Green
by
Lane Smith
Kids Wings Top Flight Book
2012 Caldecott Honor Book
What
do you know about your Grandpa?
Where
he was born?
What
was life like when he was your age?
What
were some things that he did?
Where
did he meet Grandma?
Grandpa
Green could no longer tell his grandson the answers to his
questions, but he could show him. Grandpa Green made a fanciful
garden with trees and shrubs the shapes of things from his
past:
A
boy-shaped berry tree, decorated with red berries. Chicken
pox.
A
paratrooper and airplane tree. The war.
A
beautiful waitress shrub. His future wife.
The
garden remembers Grandpa.
And,
on the last page, a special shrub. Can you guess what it
is?
Grandpa Green was
named a 2012 Caldecott Honor Book to encourage you to never
forget. It
provides a special family visit into the world of a special
grandpa who is remembered through is fanciful garden that
shares its memories in bushes and trees shaped like his
past. |
