Set in Mexico amidst the monarch butterflies' annual migration and during the Days of the Dead, "Ghost Wings," written by Barbara M. Joosse, author of the best-selling "Mama, Do You Love Me?," and illustrated with the luminescent artwork of Giselle Potter, is the touching story of a little girl whose very best friend is her grandmother. But one spring, Grandmother becomes thin as smoke. When she dies, Papa says, "When you love someone they never really leave." But to the little girl, Grandmother seems impossibly far away. Who will sing to her? Who will chase the monsters from under her bed? Then, during the Days of the Dead, something extraordinary happens that brings Papa's words vividly to life. Ideal for one-on-one sharing as well as a group discussion, "Ghost Wings'" poignant message of the endurance of love and the power of memory is sure to linger long after the book is closed. A discussion guide is included.
