Description

Claudia's grief over her grandmother Mimi's death goes unexpressed--leaving Claudia unable to move forward with her life--until she pours out her emotions to her sister and learns to see beyond her pain.; America's favorite series returns with a new look and a Netflix TV show. Claudia has a sad goodbye 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 goodbye to a special friend . . . forever?
