| Colorful, stylized illustrations depict a girl and her mother as they travel back to Greece to see the olive tree her granfather left her when he died, a gift that grows in value as the story progresses. | |
Teaching Ideas: |
|
| Map study can be expanded from finding where the mother and daughter travel to searching for the countries where students' families are from. Students may enjoy writing and discussion activities on the importance of one's heritage, on students' family heirlooms, and unusual gifts received, and what they would like to leave behind. | |
