Note: I received a digital review copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley. This book is meant to be read WITH children the first time. Or one can read it to reassure oneself that the current choice in presenting memories of the departed is a good one. This is a good one to help parents see the child's point of view. Mackinzie Rekers fills the pages with colorful illustrations which add even more meaning to this book.

A realistic story of a child's curiosity about death and lost loved ones. This sweet and poignant story paints a picture of a little girl's curiosity to know her grandfather, who died before she was born. What was he like? Will she ever be able to meet him? She starts off on her own discovery journey, gathering stories and memories, finding Grandpa's old things and trying out some of his favorites. As she pieces it all together, she realizes that maybe she doesn't have to meet her grandpa to really know him after all. Based on her own loss and parenting experience, debut author Shannon Zigmund has crafted a touching, timeless, and accessible tale of how a young child can come to know a loved one they've never met. Shared stories, memorabilia, traditions, and daydreaming weave together to create the fabric of a family member who is gone but certainly not forgotten. Readers everywhere can relate to the experience of both grief and love, and of realizing that we each hold pieces of one another in our hearts and lived lives. No library descriptions found. |
