She could heal with a touch (or with a cup of very bitter tea) or scare off a vicious dog with a look. But when she hitches a ride to Greenland on a passing porpoise, her family is still surprised--and then concerned. The mystery deepens when, among Grandmother's collection of birds' nests, the family discovers a clutch of eggs hatching. Out pop three passenger pigeons--birds of a species long extinct, supposedly.\u003cp\u003eThrough the words of a curious grandchild, and Jim LaMarche's evocative artwork, Grandmother's legacy unfolds in these pages in all its peculiarity and charm. Mixing whimsy and gravity with a little science and history, the tale of the family's loss, and marvelous find, summons a world as intriguing as it is perfectly clear--a world animated by Louise Erdrich's storytelling magic, inviting readers young and old to follow Grandmother, and to wonder. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Louise Erdrich\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1517911478\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781517911478\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Minnesota Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/14\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 32\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.82h x 11.10w x 0.63d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHorn Book Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2022 pg. 147\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHornbook Guide to Children\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2022 - Superior,Well Above Average","brand":"Louise Erdrich","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44055364043007,"sku":"9781517911478","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9d055a1b-2f42-448f-8557-e91d3c990272.jpg?v=1685035336","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/grandmothers-pigeon-louise-erdrich-9781517911478","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
