About This Book
Reach for this book when a grandparent or close relative is struggling with deep grief and your child feels ignored or confused by the sudden change in their loved one. It is an essential tool for families navigating the quiet, heavy atmosphere that often follows the loss of a matriarch or patriarch, providing a roadmap for children to gently re-engage with the adults in their lives. The story follows Henry, a young boy who uses a clever 'Top Threes' game to pull his grandfather out of a silent fog of mourning. While the book deals with the heavy theme of a grandmother's death, it remains firmly rooted in the warmth of the grandson-grandfather bond. It is perfectly pitched for children ages 4 to 8, offering a model of patience and emotional intelligence that empowers kids to be part of the family's healing process without carrying the burden of 'fixing' things.
