Miss Rumphius, written and illustrated by Barbara Cooney. New York: Puffin Books, 1982.
This book is also a good historical example for students in a classroom. The young girl describes her grandfather immigrating to America. This explains that not all cultures come from the same background, and teachers must have background knowledge to explain this to their students.
