The Worst Hard Time: The Untold Story of Those Who Survived the Great American Dust Bowl
The Frank Show
I really like this one. Carly has a great review here. There was great interplay between the text and the illustrations in the early part of the story, where the boy was describing his grandpa and clearly, he didn't quite get the distinctions that made his grandpa unique, and definitely not ordinary. It sets up the story nicely for what comes later. A warm, funny, family story.
