Holes in the Sky

A black woman in a white cap hugs a young black boy and young white girl.
Patricia Polacco

There will never be anyone like her grandmother, Patricia Polacco thinks when her grandmother passes away. But when she and her family move to California—in the middle of a drought—she meets a new friend, the irrepressible Stewart, and his amazing grandmother, Miss Eula, who not only takes Trisha under her wing but, with Trisha and Stewart, steps up to lead their entire extraordinarily diverse neighborhood to help a hurting neighbor—and her once lush garden—survive the drought.
