This simple, tender story is about the death of a beloved grandmother. But the story is told by Grandma herself, as she peacefully says goodbye to her sleeping children and grandchildren and then, in turn, to all the earthly things she has loved and rises to her new home -- in the stars.Serene and beautiful, this book is for all children and their families, regardless of religious beliefs. Its assurance that love remains forever will be inexpressibly comforting to both children and adults who grieve.Max Haynes lives in Minnesota. This is his first book for Albert Whitman.
