By Nie Jun
A 2019 Batchelder Honor Book Yu'er and her grandpa live in a small
neighborhood in Beijing--and it's full of big personalities. There's a story around
every corner, and each day has a hint of magic. In one tale, Yu'er wants to swim
in the Special Olympics, a sports competition for people with disabilities. But
she and her grandpa don't have a pool! Their trick to help Yu'er practice wows
the whole neighborhood. In another story, a friend takes Yu'er to a wild place
full of musical insects. Later, Yu'er hears a special story about her grandparents.
And in the final story, Yu'er and her grandpa show a cranky painter the sweet
side of life.-- "Journal"
