This book reveals the inner thoughts and feelings of those we hold close. It is thought provocing - and hits a chord with children, and adults alike - that you never really loose touch with those that mean alot to you...

We read this book over and over when my boys were smaller. Even if a child's grandparent is just one state over and not separated by an ocean, children miss their grandparents.
