A Note From the Publisher: Grandma is always on her knees in the dirt, with her gardening gloves on, talking to her roses. Her home brims with plants and blossoms, and on hot days, she even waters the little girl in this story, her "most special flower of all," with the hose.
But a day comes when Grandma isn't there to care for the little girl anymore. She feels sad and small and alone until she remembers all that her grandmother taught her- and all that she has to teach. Full of light and life and the solace of green, growing things, this moving and beautifully illustrated picture book explores a timeless bond with warmth and joy.
Hello, Gorgeous Illustrations! |
It got me thinking about a set of bowls I have in my kitchen. When my own Grandmother passed away they were given to me. I love them because of the meaning behind them. They remind me of the memories of the wonderful meals she would make us on Sundays.

This would be a wonderful read aloud to a classroom. Make sure to share your own memories and treasures from your grandparents.....

LOVELY post! And lovely book. I have my grandmother's Magnalite pot, I still make a mean pot roast in it. :-) Thank you for sharing...
ReplyDeleteI love these kind of stories about grandparents. Theirs is the kind of love worth remembering. To those who still have their grandparents, seize, treasure and enjoy each time with them. Blessed are the children and the grandparents.
