Claudia and the Sad Good-bye — Ann M. Martin

Claudia has a sad good-bye to make. Her grandmother, Mimi, has just died. Claudia understands that Mimi was sick for a long time, but she's still mad at her grandmother for leaving her. Who will help Claudia with her homework... and share "special tea" with her?

To keep from thinking about Mimi, Claudia spends all her free time painting and baby-sitting. She's even teaching an art class for some of the kids in the neighborhood.

Claudia knows she has to let go of Mimi sometime. But how do you say good-bye to a special friend...forever?
