Overview
From award-winning author Heather Smith, a heartwarming, moving story about loss - and remembering.
When Granny dies, a young child and their family have a hole in their hearts. They find it helps them fill it to remember her through the things she left behind. To the father, she left a tuba, and to the mother, a locket. To the sister, she left a microscope, and to the brother, a record collection. To the main character, though, Granny left something different: a world of adventure, that they visit with their memories. Through imaginative play with items that belonged to Granny, the child travels near and far. And Granny is right beside them, along for the ride.
Using spare prose, award-winning author Heather Smithās beautiful story about loss, grief and memories presents an honest yet optimistic view of how to joyfully remember loved ones after theyāre gone. Ashley Barronās layered cut-paper collage illustrations bring fun to the story, while colorfully capturing the feel of a childās imagination in flight. This book provides a gentle, thoughtful entryway into a conversation with children - or adults - about losing a loved one, and how to hold them close. Itās a wonderful resource for focusing on social-emotional learning, and an excellent representation for a character education lesson on resilience.
