5 stars
An absolutely beautiful story, both visually and in its content, that explores loss, memory, and time spent together. Gentle and slow, this lovely book celebrates the connection between grandmother and granddaughter, passing on stories and making new memories.
Poetic wordplay and soft, rounded illustrations make for a soothing reading experience. The artwork is stunning with lovely muted tones and splendid movement. This is a masterpiece.
It does feel like a book adults, and perhaps older children, will enjoy more than young children. There’s a nice gentleness to it that will resonate with anyone who has experienced loss.
This calming story perfectly captures the little gems of shared times that coincide with the sadness of losing a loved one. A book you feel in your soul like a warm cup of tea. This is a true treasure.
