{"product_id":"grandmother-s-visit","title":"Grandmother’s Visit","description":"Grace says goodbye to Grandmother in this touching book about love and loss.\nGrandmother lives with Grace’s family. She teaches her how to measure water for rice. She tells her stories about growing up in China and together they savor the flavors of her childhood. Grandmother says goodbye when she drops Grace off at school every morning and hello when she picks her up at the end of the day.\nSuddenly, Grandmother stops walking Grace to and from school, and the door to her room stays closed. Father comes home early to make dinner, but the rice bowls stay full. One day, Grandmother’s room is empty. And soon after, she is buried. After the funeral, Grace’s mom turns on all the outside lights so that Grandmother’s spirit can find its way home for one final goodbye.\nCarmen Mok’s gentle illustrations show the love between a child and her grandmother in this story that will resonate with anyone who has lost a loved one. Betty Quan’s picture-book debut is haunting yet hopeful.\nCorrelates to the Common Core State Standards in English Language Arts:\nCCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.1.6\nIdentify who is telling the story at various points in a text.\nCCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.2.1\nAsk and answer such questions as who, what, where, when, why, and how to demonstrate understanding of key details in a text.\nCCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.2.3\nDescribe how characters in a story respond to major events and challenges.\nCCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.2.7\nUse information gained from the illustrations and words in a print or digital text to demonstrate understanding of its characters, setting, or plot.\nCCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.3.7\n\u0026gt;Explain how specific aspects of a text's illustrations contribute to what is conveyed by the words in a story (e.g., create mood, emphasize aspects of a character or setting)\nCCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.5.2\nDetermine a theme of a story, drama, or poem from details in the text, including how characters in a story or drama respond to challenges or how the speaker in a poem reflects upon a topic; summarize the text.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 155498954X\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.155498954X.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Quan, Betty|Mok Asian\/Pacific American Award for Literature Picture Book Honor, Carmen\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
