After all\, Thanksgiving means the people she loves most will be gathered together. If only things didn’t feel so different. Billy\, home from college\, has a beard; Sal is moodier than ever; and Mama is so distracted! And Poppy still doesn’t know what to do for her language arts assignment. \nPoppy is a bittersweet\, thematically rich\, emotionally complex younger middle grade novel about growing up\, adjusting to change\, and unconditional love. Complete with sibling squabbles\, gingko trees\, blue hair dye\, and lots of hot cocoa and humor\, celebrated author Kevin Henkes delivers a winning conclusion to the Miller Family sequence. \nPoppy is the fifth and final stand-alone book about the Miller family. It includes black-and-white illustrations by Kevin Henkes on almost every page and is an excellent choice for early elementary grades\, for readers ready for a short novel\, and for family and classroom read-alouds. \nABOUT THE AUTHOR: \nKevin Henkes has been praised both as a writer and as an illustrator and is the recipient of the Children’s Literature Legacy Award for his lasting contribution to literature for children. He received the Caldecott Medal for Kitten’s First Full Moon; Caldecott Honors for Waiting and Owen; Newbery Honors for Olive’s Ocean and The Year of Billy Miller; and Geisel Honors for Waiting and Penny and Her Marble. His other books include Is It Spring?\, The World and Everything in It\, A House\, A Parade of Elephants\, Chrysanthemum\, and the beloved Lilly’s Purple Plastic Purse.
