Grandpa Green by Lane Smith (2011)


In the fourth grade
he got chicken pox.*
                                                                     *Not from the chickens.



Few picture books touch me as deeply as Grandpa Green by Lane Smith. It is gorgeously illustrated, clever, humourous, multigenerational, sparsely worded but perfectly paced, and poignant. I simply adore it.  It’s at the top of my mock Caldecott 2012 list.
