Poppy by Kevin Henkes (Hardcover)

Poppy is a stand-alone companion to The Year of Billy Miller by two-time Newbery Honor author Kevin Henkes, illustrated in black and white by the author. It is almost Thanksgiving and Poppy, the youngest in the family, is excited to have everyone together. But things feel different: Billy is home from college with a beard, Sal is moody and Mama is distracted. A tender story about growing up, change and family love.
