He lived with his grandfather, who taught him to paint with his fingers, to make paints from marigolds and brushes made from jasmine flowers. Sometimes, the village children would watch them painting together, and the boy's grandfather would invite them to join in.They didn't have much, but they had each other.
After his grandfather dies, the boy notices a little box show more wrapped in string with a note that read: "From Dadaji, with love," with his grandfather's best paintbrush tucked away inside. But he feels he will never want to paint again.
Will the boy overcome his grief and find joy in painting and his dadaji's memory again?
From Rashmi Sirdeshpande and Ruchi Mhasane comes a lushly illustrated tale of love, art, and family. show less

K-Gr 3—Subtle and poetic in its treatment of death, this book stands out for the depth of its wise messages and its
gentle, evocative art. The story of a boy taking on his dadaji's artistry is subtle; no one has been replaced as much
as a continuation has been achieved.
