All from a Walnut: A Picture Book by Ammi-Joan Paquette
Emilia's grandpa tells her the story of bringing a walnut with him when his family emigrated, and planting it where they live now. When Emilia's mom was younger, she planted a walnut from the same tree, and now it is Emilia's turn. When Grandpa dies, Emilia and her mother mourn, and take care of their trees the way he taught them.

A beautiful, gentle, intergenerational story about growth and grieving, with muted, sepia- and green-toned illustrations.

All from a Walnut by Ammi-Joan Paquette
When Emilia finds a walnut on her dresser, her Grandfather tells her an important story about generations of a family and life's journey. This would be a wonderful book to share with a child who a lost a grandparent - it is a gentle read that touches upon death, grief, and the interconnectedness of family.

Ghost in the House by Ammi Joan Paquette
The rhyme scheme on this one nails it, and I like that it is spooky but not even a little scary.

The tiptoe guide to tracking fairies by Ammi-Joan Paquette
As the title suggests this is a guide to locating fairies in your backyard. K-2 fairy enthusiasts will appreciate these cute winged creatures. Drawn fairies worked into photographs.
