The Sunsets of Miss Olivia Wiggins

This poignant tale of a woman residing in a nursing home who seems to live more in a world of memories than in the present gives voice to an often not-discussed element of aging. Constance Bergum's delicate watercolor illustrations give soft expression to the continuity of generations and the love that holds a family together during times of hardship. 32 pp. Ages 6-10. Pub: 3/98.
