About This Book
Reach for this book when a grandparent's health is declining and you need a way to help your child process the impending transition from physical presence to cherished memory. It is a gentle, secular story that focuses on the legacy of love rather than the clinical details of illness. The story follows a young boy and his grandmother as they embark on a final treasure hunt, a clever framing device that helps children understand that 'treasures' are often memories and shared stories rather than objects. For children aged 5 to 8, this book provides a safe space to discuss sadness while emphasizing the agency they have in keeping a loved one's spirit alive. It is an ideal choice for families looking for a hopeful yet honest way to normalize the difficult feelings associated with saying goodbye.
